Advanced neuroimaging, especially for selected patients in PED, can improve the quality of health care for patients. On the other hand, irrelevant neuroimaging findings can lead physicians away from prompt diagnosis and accurate management. According to our study, advanced neuroimaging can be performed in the early period for both diagnosis and early treatment, especially in selected patients with ataxia, blurred vision, altered consciousness, and unilateral weakness. In other cases, clinicians may find more supporting evidence.
