Vascular Dementia Diagnosis
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, your doctor may order some of the following:
- Computed tomography scan
- Electroencephalogram
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Neuropsychological assessments. These tests can help distinguish VaD from other types of dementia and AD.
- Psychiatric evaluation. This may be done to rule out a psychiatric condition that may resemble dementia.
