Interpreting and Understanding CT Scanning in Head Injuries
Abstract:
CT scans of neural trauma are difficult to assess. Some do not reveal enough detail, while others seem to show too much, leading to apparent discrepancies between the CT scan report and the course of therapy. This confuses the patient's family, who often ask the family physician about the type of treatment being given and the ultimate prognosis. Their concerns can often be alleviated if the family physician understands and can explain these apparent discrepancies. This article describes several of the more troublesome CT scan results.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
