Neuroradiology investigations before scanning.
Coaxial tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are so much part of neurological investigation these days and provide such detailed information that even thorough neurological clinical examination may be neglected. The investigations in common use forty years ago were pneumoencephalography, ventriculography in babies with hydrocephalus, and carotid angiography with the injection of X-ray contrast to outline the arteries.
