ABSTRACT=Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is on pace to become the most common cranial neurosurgical disease by 2030. Despite medical and surgical management, recurrence rates remain high. Recently, middle meningeal artery emboliza@on has emerged as a promising treatment, however, determinants of disease recurrence are not well understood, and developing novel radiographic biomarkers to assess hematomas and cSDH membranes remains an ac@ve area of research. In this narra@ve review, we summarize the current state-of-the-art for subdural hematoma and membrane imaging and discuss the poten@al role of MR and dual-energy CT imaging in predic@ng cSDH recurrence, surgical planning, and selec@ng pa@ents for emboliza@on treatment.
