How important is ct scan for age appropriate volume loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT Scan: And MRI are good tests to look at the brain. With age the brain can atrophy or shrink which is referred to as age appropriate volume loss. If the atrophy is too severe then this finding would be described accordingly.
