A, B, C, D
Feedback:
A brain scan is used to evaluate vascular lesions, neoplasms, abscesses, and areas of cerebrovascular ischemia. The rationale for this procedure is that the radioisotope will accumulate in a greater amount at a site of pathology than at normal brain tissue. A lumber puncture may be performed to measure pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) and obtain a sample of CSF for culture and sensitivity.
