An Evidence-Based Approach To Imaging Of Acute Neurological Conditions
Date Released: Dec 2007
Emergency physicians are frequently confronted with patients with neurological complaints requiring emergent imaging for diagnosis and treatment. The diversity and variations of imaging modalities may appear confusing, resulting in physician uncertainty about the most appropriate modality to evaluate the presenting complaint. An evidence-based approach, with the modality and technique selected based on patient characteristics and differential diagnosis, is essential. In this review, the evidence supporting the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis and treatment of emergency brain disorders will be reviewed. Adjunctive imaging techniques will also be considered, including conventional angiography, plain films, and ultrasound. Clinical decision rules intended to target imaging utilization to high-risk
patients will also be discussed.
