Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the role of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in evaluating brain edema in traumatic brain injury. The main question it aims to answer is: Is TCD equivalent to brain computerized tomography (CT) in evaluating traumatic brain edema? Participants will be examined by both methods at the same time to assess the correlation between them.
