Traumatic Brain Injury

If you have a mild TBI, your healthcare provider will examine you and ask about your symptoms. They’ll also want to learn more about what caused the injury. They may do the following tests:

• Neurological evaluation.
• Imaging tests. A CT scan or MRI checks for brain bleeding and swelling.
• Blood tests.

If you have a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury, your provider likely will do blood tests and a CT scan so they can decide on immediate medical treatment
