A member asked:
Would a ct scan show cysts in the brain? if so, would a dr mention them if seen during a brain ct scan after a head injury from a car accident?

It would: Ct scans of the brain can provide detailed information about brain pathology, thus providing more information related to injuries and/or diseases of the brain. Findings could bleeding, brain injury and skull fractures in patients with head injuries. However, MRI will be more precise for details of soft tissue.

Yes: CT would show cysts, although cysts are uncommon. Did you have some bleeding into the brain after the accident? The report would mention cysts if any are present.
