    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 10 million individuals globally each year, with higher incidence in elderly populations.

  • 2

    Cranial CT is the primary diagnostic tool for TBI, but many scans yield no clinically relevant findings, increasing resource use.

  • 3

    Clinical decision rules like the Canadian CT Head Rule aim to optimize imaging use but may be less effective in older adults.

  • 4

    S100B, a serum biomarker, is being studied for its potential to rule out clinically relevant brain injury in TBI patients.

  • 5

    This study evaluates acute CT findings and S100B levels in a large cohort of adults with TBI to assess diagnostic performance.
