A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain is a modern diagnostic method that provides detailed images of brain structures using X-ray technology. The Philips MX8000 scanner ensures high accuracy, allowing for early detection of brain pathologies. The computer processing of images enables results to be stored in a digital format, either as layered images or in a 3D model of the brain.

When Should You Get a Brain CT Scan?

A CT scan is recommended in the following cases:

• Head injuries (trauma, concussions, fractures);
• Post-surgical monitoring of brain conditions;
• Sudden vision, hearing, or motor function impairments;
• Severe and persistent headaches that do not respond to medication (as prescribed by a doctor);
• Suspected internal brain bleeding, stroke, or brain swelling;
• Unexplained nausea, vomiting, dizziness;
• Detection of tumors, cysts, abscesses, or other abnormalities.

What Can a Brain CT Scan Detect?

CT scanning of the brain allows for the diagnosis of:

• Even the smallest fractures or structural damage to the skull;
• Brain structure displacement;
• Swelling, hematomas, and internal bleeding;
• Tumors, cysts, and brain abscesses;
• Inflammatory conditions and vascular disorders.

How Does the Procedure Work?

The CT scan is completely painless and takes only a few minutes. The patient lies on a moving platform, which slides into the CT scanner. It is important to remain still during the scan to ensure the clearest possible images.

For a more detailed diagnosis, the doctor may recommend a contrast-enhanced CT scan. In this case, a special contrast agent is injected intravenously, allowing better visualization of blood vessels and brain tissue.

Low-Radiation Brain CT Scans

Our Philips MX8000 scanner meets international safety standards and operates with reduced radiation exposure. This is especially important today, as people are constantly exposed to various sources of radiation, such as mobile phones, X-ray machines, industrial emissions, and environmental pollutants.
