what test are done after a stroke
Less commonly, one or more tests may be done in specific situations to identify conditions that contribute to risk of stroke. Non-laboratory tests may include a CT scan or MRI of the brain to look for any injury as well as tests of electrical activity and blood flow in the brain.
Other laboratory tests may be ordered to evaluate a patient suspected of having had a stroke or to rule it out, including: 1  Complete blood count (CBC) 2  Prothrombin time (PT) and INR.  Partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
