Neuro Imaging Appropriateness

ACR Appropriateness Criteria for neurological imaging covers clinical scenarios involving the brain, cranial nerves, and intracranial structures, including stroke, headache, seizure, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.

Clinical Topics

Headache 51%

CT Brain W/O Contrast • CONDITIONAL

Head Trauma 95%

CT head without contrast • STRONG

Seizure 40%

MRI Brain W/O Contrast • CONDITIONAL

Vertigo 18%

CT temporal bone without IV contrast • CLINICAL_FIRST

Brain Tumor 100%

Orbital Emergency 33%

CT orbits without IV contrast • HIGH_VARIANCE

Hydrocephalus 90%
