CTScan Brain

Description

Brain CT scans can provide more detailed information about brain tissue and brain structures than standard X-rays of the head, thus providing more data related to injuries and/or diseases of the brain. During a brain CT, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body, allowing many different views of the brain. If your CT scan requires contrast material, there’s a small risk of an allergic reaction. Most reactions are mild, causing symptoms like itchiness or a rash. Some people may experience side effects from the contrast material, including: Nausea and vomiting. CT scans are a good way to check for brain tumours, especially when doctors need quick results. They can show large or serious tumours, but small ones might be harder to find. Computed tomography (CT) of the head uses special x-ray equipment to help assess head injuries, severe headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms of aneurysm, bleeding, stroke, and brain tumors. It also helps your doctor to evaluate your face, sinuses, and skull or to plan radiation therapy for brain cancer.
