Core Tip

Core Tip: Cerebrovascular diseases and intracranial tumors may lead to intracranial hemorrhage, epilepsy, headache, neurological impairment and other risk factors for inflight incapacitation. High-resolution head magnetic resonance imaging examination is of great significance for screening and detecting cerebrovascular diseases and intracranial tumors in military flying personnel, and its clinical application to physical examination for transfer to pilot modified high performance aircraft should be attached with great importance. It is essential to detect and to intervene and treat cerebrovascular diseases and intracranial tumors as early as possible, thus reducing the grounding rate and maintaining flight safety.
