Overview
Other Imaging Studies
- Angiography of cerebral vessels can be useful in cases of recurrent episodes of confusion caused due to cerebral vasculitis. Evidence of inflammation of vessels is important to start on therapy. Seromarkers for inflammation are also evaluated in such cases.
- It can be used along with CT scan for better understanding. It is called as CT angiography.
- Fluid attenuated inversion recovery images are more sensitive to brain lesions that cause confusion.[1]
