What are the tests for tbi?

MRI and neuro exam: Neurological evaluation, mri, neuropsychological testing, cognitive evaluation, and functional evaluation are tests performed for tbi.

Depends on who ask: What is typically or appropriately done depends on severity - tbi encompasses everything from mild concussion to tbu with fractures and hematoma. Acutely medical tests are critical, especially if hematoma or increased icp is suspected. Many of these tests are less sensitive than neuropsychological testing at detecting more persisting problems with attention, memory, executive or other functions.

Radiographs: The tests for tbi include neurological examination, ct scans of the head, MRI scans of the head. These imaging studies are important for revealing any structural problems that might need neurosurgery.
