To evaluate the utilization of the displaced cortical vein sign on CT as a predictor of pathological subdural collections confirmed by MRI and to assess the reproducibility of this finding among radiologists with different levels of clinical experience. A total of 104 imaging exams were independently reviewed by junior- and senior-level radiologists (52 head CTs and 52 corresponding brain MRI exams). These exams included 43 MRI-confirmed cases of subdural collections and 9 MRI-confirmed cases of BESS from patients aged 0-2 years. The presence of pathological collections and sulcal flattening, and the displaced cortical vein sign were recorded for both reviewers along with attenuation and signal characteristics of the collections. Confirmed diagnosis of AHT was determined by chart review. The sensitivity, specificity, and inter-observer reliability were analyzed between reviewers. The average patient age was 6.4 months with a median age of 4 months. The sensitivity values of the displaced cortical vein sign on CT for the presence of subdural collections were 69.6% and 79.0% for the two reviewers, respectively.

While the focus of cardiac imaging is primarily on evaluating cardiac structures, it also provides valuable insights into extracardiac structures and associated abnormalities. The radiologists and cardiologists interpreting these exams play a critical role in recognizing these findings and providing recommendations for follow-up testing when indicated. Due to the excellent soft tissue resolution of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), incidental findings can often be diagnosed without further imaging. Incidental findings are generally defined as lesions or masses detected by imaging that is performed for a different reason. In other cases, further imaging evaluation and testing may be necessary.
