This increase in redundant imaging is primarily associated with brain exams, particularly CT, wrote a team led by Dr. Vincent Timpone of the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. Redundant imaging in TIA is rising, the team wrote. Most notable is the rate of redundant brain imaging, which is seen in almost one-third of all TIA encounters and occurs 10-fold more often than redundant neurovascular imaging.
TIA used to be grouped along with stroke when it came to imaging, but over the past number of years, professional medical organizations have released TIA-specific recommendations, and compliance with these guidelines has boosted imaging use. But whether some imaging for TIA workup is redundant has not been fully explored, according to the researchers.

AURORA, Colo. â Emergency rooms have long been a source of surprise bills for many Coloradans. The state recently passed a law that was supposed to prevent it from happening, but Denver7 Investigates discovered it doesnât apply to all health plans.
Colorado National Guardsmen helped rescue about 40 of their fellow Coloradans most of them stranded motorists during the weekend storm that dumped about two feet of snow in parts of the state.
Governor Jared Polis activated the guard in anticipation of the storm with heavy snow and gusty winds that closed roads, making it difficult for ambulances to respond to calls.
Guardsmen staged in Fort Collins, Loveland and Watkins Sunday as the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning throughout much of the region as the two-day storm was peaking.
“At the request of our partner agencies, these Colorado National Guard snow response teams worked through the night to ensure no vehicle was left unchecked and no life was forgotten,” the guard posted on its Facebook page.
