Q: how soon will a ct scan or mri see a slow growing subdural hematoma?

: A growing hematoma implies a series of scans and the intensity of the leak may vary widely on different individual characteristics. Many times a series (more than 1 fall/trauma) is involved and that remains, too, variable from patient to patient. Would say hours to days depending on actual clinical context.
