How a Traumatic Brain Injury is Diagnosed

A blow to the head can happen at anytime resulting in a traumatic brain injury. It can be the result of a car accident or a slip and fall.  It can even occur while playing a friendly game of basketball. No matter how the injury happened, the result can be serious and have life altering ramifications.

Many traumatic brain injuries are self evident. However, you should always seek medical attention if you suffer a severe blow to the head since not all symptoms are easily detectable.

So, how will your traumatic brain injury be diagnosed in the event that the injury is not easily detected? There are many methods that doctors use to determine the severity of a head injury.

Your injury may require a detailed neurological examination that will reveal any evidence of a brain injury. One method may include brain imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan. Your doctor is trained to evaluate the results and determine the extent of your injury.
