Overview
There are several other imaging studies which are not quite that often used for diagnosis. They are mostly used in cases of unconfirmed diagnosis. Few of them are CT angiography,FLAIR(Fluid attenuated inversion recovery images.
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(FLAIR) are more sensitive to brain lesions that cause confusion.[1]
