A member asked:
Is it necessary get a drug test in order to get a cat scan of the head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no contraindication to getting a ct scan of the head (without IV contrast). It is always important to limit radiation exposure, so make sure the scan is indicated. Some claustrophobic people may have a problem undergoing the scan, because your head is surrounded by a big ring.
