What are the tests for brain injury?

Neuro exam, MRI: While there are many tests for brain injury, MRI is the most sensitive test to show brain injury from a test perspective. Neurological examination is the hallmark of patient evaluation. Neuropsychometric testing will help determine functional abnormalities after brain trauma.
