A member asked:

In regards to a ct scan, what exactly are "extensive extra-axial & intra-parenchymal calcifications"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typically just aging: On a head CT, 'extra-axial' refers to outside the brain itself and 'intra-parenchymal' refers to that within the brain tissue. Calcifications in both locations are frequently seen with aging, however you should review your study with your PCP to review the details of your particular exam report. A concierge consult could also be step up and I'd be happy to look into the specifics of your case
