What reasons do people go get ct brain scans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Major abnormalities: Ct is typically used in the acute setting to look for blood. It can also show major abnormalities such as masses and edema from large strokes. Ct is the best exam for looking at skull fractures and usually partially shows the bones of the sinuses and face.
