Understanding NCCT Scan Brain


What is NCCT Scan Brain?

The Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Head is an imaging procedure where rotating beams of X-rays are used to create a detailed three-dimensional image of the head to detect damage or other disorders of the brain, skull, and other related areas of the head.
It’s a common test used to detect serious head injury, stubborn headaches, brain and skull birth defects, brain diseases, and stroke. The doctor may suggest a CT scan of the brain if one experiences symptoms indicating a problem in the brain such as seizures or epilepsy, altered or double vision, memory loss, and loss of sensation of touch.
The machine is noisy, however, the test is painless. A person who has had a stroke has a better chance of recovery when examined and treated early.
