Overview
There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Imaging Findings
- Electroencephalography (EEG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Rabies. Findings on EEG suggestive of rabies include:[1][2][3][4]
- Encephalopathic changes such as precipitous drop in the EEG amplitude (during 1st week due to spasm of blood vessels)
- Findings reversible with blood flow
- Angiography may show narrowing of terminal internal carotid arteries and distal basilar artery due to vascular spasm.
- It can be differentiated from brain death by
- Cerebral arterial flow scanning
- Brain biopsy
