Presumably you didn't just wander into a CT center and made an impulse purchase. A doctor ordered this for a reason. What was the reason? The CT scan isn't the patient; you are. The doctor who ordered it is ethically obligated to explain the results to you in terms you can understand, or if (s)he can't, to send you to someone who can.

Solitary static conditions do not result in progressive brain hemorrhage nor dementia, regardless of online comments, but the calcium deposits may need further intervention??
