Advantages and disadvantages of singular and combinations of radiographic measurements to evaluate cSDH progression
| Advantage | Disadvantage | |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Simple, practical, good external applicability, sensitivity easy to adjust (2 vs 5 mm, and so forth) | Too dependent on measurement technique and location, sensitivity might be low |
| Volume | Intuitively the right choice, presumably most accurate | Labor intensive, unlikely to be used in day-to-day practice |
| Volume + width | Raises the bar for specificity | More challenging to interpret, 2 thresholds to define |
| Less sensitive | ||
| Volume + width + MLS | Raises the bar for specificity even further | Even more challenging to interpret, definition issues, 2 df (>2 mm and > 2 mm and > 20 mL) |
| Low sensitivity |
