How is the condition diagnosed?

The history and physical exam are the first steps in diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage. X-ray tests may be done to show the location and amount of the blood in the brain. These tests may include:

cranial CT scan

cranial MRI

cerebral angiography, in which a contrast agent is injected into the blood vessels of the brain

These x-ray tests can show the location and amount of the blood in the brain.
