What Is Cerebral Infarction?
9. Diagnosis
It will be necessary for a diagnosis to be reached so that the patient can receive the appropriate treatment. There are some techniques that will help professionals to tell what the problem is. Doctors will also want to ask the patient, or friends and family, about their symptoms and medical history.
It is often important for doctors to rule out other underlying causes of the patient’s symptoms. Imaging techniques like an angiogram will help to identify any blockages that could lead to a stroke. An MRI and CT scan can also be used to help look for physical signs of a cerebral infarction.
