Busting the myths-SEIZURES(FITS) SCANS
Does every patient with fits (seizures) need a scan?
Not every patient requires scanning. It's essential to consult a specialist or neurologist before proceeding with scans for fits or seizures, as some attacks may not even be true fits but rather pseudo seizures. Utilizing neurodiagnostics services can enhance the accuracy of these assessments, and online consultations or tele stroke diagnostics can provide additional support in evaluating the patient's condition.
Should you get a CT or an MRI scan for seizure?
A CT scan is particularly useful initially as a quick study, especially if a patient is sick and unstable when brought to the ER. However, once the patient is stabilized, MRI becomes more sensitive in identifying abnormalities. For those seeking neurodiagnostics services, online consultations can also provide valuable insights, and tele stroke diagnostics can ensure timely assessments.
Which MRI scanner is better? 1.5 vs 3T
Epilepsy (Seizures) scans are best conducted using higher strength scanners (3T > 1.5T if available, T-Tesla, strength of MR magnet). For those seeking neurodiagnostics services, online consultations can provide guidance on the most appropriate imaging options, including tele stroke diagnostics.
How long will a seizure (epilepsy) MRI scan take?
Routine epilepsy protocol MRI takes 30-40 minutes inside the MRI and includes both basic and certain advanced sequences. As part of our neurodiagnostics services, we also offer online consultations and tele stroke diagnostics to enhance patient care.
Will there be a need for contrast injection during the seizure scan?
If the plain (non-contrast) study reveals some abnormalities, your radiologist or specialist may recommend contrast injection to better characterize them. This is an important step often discussed during online consultations, especially when utilizing neurodiagnostics services. In cases where immediate assessment is required, tele stroke diagnostics may also be considered.
