Subdural haematoma (SDH) resulting from traumatic brain injury relating to non accidental head injury is unfortunately relatively common in the UK at 36 per 100000 incidence in children < 6 months old. However, adult models are used when aging SDH. This study aimed to compare calculated relaxation time constants, T₂^* and T₁ of fetal and adult blood samples in a simulated SDH for data acquired daily over 28 days. Significant differences between fetal and adult were found in T₂^* and T₁ values for week 1 and weeks 1, 3 and 4 respectively.
