CT Scans

Cards (3)

  • CT (Computerised Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans are used to examine brain tissue for injury and disease without invasive procedures
  • CT scans generate a 3D image of the brain by firing X-Ray radiation from different angles, useful for examining bleeding within the skull and damage to brain structures
  • CT scans work by taking a series of x-rays from different angles and combining them to create a 3D image
