Computed tomography (CT) scanning is equal to autopsy for the diagnosis of forensic fractures in the posterior fossa, but it is less effective at detecting hairline fractures and those in the anterior and medial fossae.

Abnormal transcranial and extracranial Doppler ultrasonography results are prognostic risk factors for new cerebral ischemic events after transient ischemic attack, and transcranial ultrasonography findings can also predict further cardiovascular episodes.
