Hello,
With the question “Which technique can diagnose cerebral hemorrhage? ”, the doctor replied as follows:
With the symptoms you describe, you need to go to a neurosurgery specialist or the Stroke Intervention Unit. Specialist doctors will examine and evaluate clinical symptoms to make an accurate diagnosis and indicate what to take. CT scanner or MRI, intravenous contrast injection or not...? The time to take and return results depends on which protocol is prescribed by the doctor, about 20 to 60 minutes.
If you still have questions about the diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
