ANCILLARY PROCEDURES FOR STROKE • Computed Tomography • Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Magnetic Resonance Angiography • Echo-Planar MR Imaging • Magnetic Resonance Neurography • Positron Emission Tomography • Myelography
Spine Interventions • Discography • Selective Nerve Root and Epidural Spinal Injections
Others • Spinal Angiography • Interventional Neuroradiology
Diagnostic Interventions for acute CVA • blood examsare recommended: complete blood count, serum glucose, serum electrolytes, creatinine, BUN, serum total protein, bilirubin, transaminases, coagulation tests. • In patients with acute stroke, the lumbar puncture is recommended only when a subarachnoid haemorrhage is clinically suspected and the CT scan is negative.
Diagnostic Interventions for acute CVA • The chest radiography is always suggested early after the hospital admission for the evaluation of heart failure, aspiration pneumonia or other possible cardiological or pulmonary early complications. • The electrocardiogram is recommended in all suspected stroke victims who are admitted to an Emergency Room
