Acute bleeds are white on CT. Acute blood blocks x-rays and appears white (in the same way bone does but not as bright).
Chronic old blood has low x-ray attenuation and appear as dark/dark gray in CT images because the cells are eventually reabsorbed and scar tissue and swelling takes the place forming a dark hypodense area on scans.
However, when contrast media (dye) is injected to the blood vessels, blood will appear white due to the iodine content in the dye. Iodine has high z-number (atomic number) which can attenuate x-rays.
no but there r white blood cells
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but it doesnt care as much blood as the red blood cell does that's the difference. Also, the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but the red blood carries blood. Wait, I think the nerve cell is the white cell is white. White Cell=Nerve Cell*white. Cell=Nerve/White =;)
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.

Yes. A WBC ct. of 16.6 is indicative of an infection or an acute stress response, most commonly.
an acute bleed on ct appears hyperdense, hence the use of ct when a head bleed is suspected.

The white blood cells
Strictly speaking, the physics of CT scanning involves attenuation of the x-ray by tissues in a manner not always exactly congruent with density differences. Hyperattenuation is a better term than hyperdense for more white and bright on the image. Hyperdense: More dense than brain. Hyperdense on CT shows more white and bright, like bone. Hyperdense abnormalities may be blood if acute, calcium, metal artifact, some tumours
