Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Transcranial Doppler
Cerebral Angiography
The first image shows
normal brain blood flow
The second image
shows presence of
cerebral aneurysm that
can cause decease
cerebral blood flow may
lead to increase ICP
Computed Tomography Scanning
The first image shows a
normal view of the
brain
The second image
shows brain with tumor
and edema that may
lead to increase ICP
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The first image shows
normal MRI result
The second image
shows with brain tumor
that causes increase
ICP
Positron Emission Tomography
The first image shows
normal PET result
The second image
shows with brain tumor
that may lead to
increase ICP
Transcranial Doppler
The top shows a TCD
of a normal artery
Bottom shows a
severely stenosed
internal carotid artery
causes decrease
cerebral blood flow may
lead to increase ICP
