Summary: Two different biomechanical models of head and spine traumaticdisease will be analysed by neuroimaging methods (computorisedtomography and 1,5 T magnetic resonance). Types, incidence,topographic distribution and structural characteristics will bevalued both in "acceleration" head trauma, as well as in "fixed"head trauma caused by firearms and explosives. The results willbe compared with the corresponding clinical data.Evaluation oftraumatic brain disease in both of these different biomechanicaltraumatizing models will be prospectivelly followed-up byneuroimaging methods.

Keywords: Computorised tomography, magnetic resonance, traumatic brain disease, traumatic neurocranial lesion, traumatic viscerocranial impairment, traumatic impairment of vertebral and paravertebral structures.

Research goals: The study has several different aims: - A representative sample will be used for valorization of types, incidedence, topografic distribution and structural characteristics of the closed acceleration neurocranial trauma by means of computerised tomography ( CT ) in correlation with the modern biomechanical and neuropathological notions. - A representative sample will be used to compare computorised tomography ( CT ) and magnetic resonance ( 1.5 MRI ) findings of types, incidence, topographic distribution and structural characteristics of the closed acceleration type neurocranial trauma. - A long -therm follow-up of dynamic traumatic disease development will comprise a representative number of patients with neurocranial acceleration type trauma in whom neurological, neurossurgical and neuropsychological findings will be compared with those obtained by neuroimaging methods (CT and MRI). - A representative sample will serve for valorization of types, incidedence, topographic distribution and structural characteristics of missile and explosive viscerocranial injuries by means of computorised tomography ( CT ) in correlation with clinical otorhinolaryngolological notions. - A representative sample will serve for valorization of types, incidence , topographic distribution and structural characteristics of open missile neurocranial wounds by means of comutorised tomography ( CT ) in correlation with the modern biomechanical and neuropathological notions.
