Introduction: The correlation between hemoglobin and hematocrit with CT number superior sagittal sinus was investigated in this study. This issue can be used in the diagnosis of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis or anemia.
Methods and Materials: The participants of this cross-sectional study were 100 patients referred to Beasat Hospital of Hamadan for head CT scan in 2021. The CT number of the superior sagittal sinus was measured from the CT images obtained with a 16 slice CT scanner. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were obtained from complete blood count (CBC) test. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson’s correlation test was used to determine the relationship between CT number and hemoglobin or hematocrit. Independent t-test was used to compare the results.
Results: The average age of the patients was 48.58 ± 20.68 years. The mean CT number of the superior sagittal sinus was 50.78 ± 5.94 HU in sequential mode and it was 50.53 ± 5.66 HU in spiral method (P=0.84). The average hemoglobin of the blood of the patients was 13.66 ± 2.07 g/dl and their hematocrit value was 42.47 ± 4.80%. There was not any significant correlation between the superior sagittal sinus CT number and the hemoglobin level (r=0.04, n=100 and p=0.637); however, there was a significant positive correlation between the superior sagittal sinus CT number and the hematocrit level in the sequential scan mode(r=0.39, n=100 and p<0.01).
Discussion and Conclusion: It is not possible to obtain the blood hemoglobin level by measuring the CT number of the superior sagittal sinus; however, the hematocrit level can be estimated using the sequential scan mode.
