CT of the brain in Kyiv at Shuliavka

CT of the brain (computed tomography) — is a highly accurate diagnostic method that allows obtaining a detailed image of the brain structure. With CT, various pathologies can be detected, such as tumors, trauma, strokes, hemorrhages, and other changes that may not be visible on standard X-ray images. At the HBMedical diagnostic center in Kyiv, the examination is performed on modern CT equipment, which ensures accurate results.

What CT of the brain shows

CT of the brain allows obtaining an image of the brain tissue using X-rays processed by a computer. This method can detect:

• Brain tumors — both benign and malignant formations.
• Strokes — determination of the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic).
• Hemorrhages — intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhages, which may lead to serious neurological disorders.
• Head trauma — skull fractures, fissures, brain contusions.
• Inflammatory processes — meningitis, encephalitis.
• Degenerative changes — such as in Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.
• Developmental anomalies — defects in brain development, vascular anomalies.

CT allows obtaining quick results, which is important in emergency conditions, such as stroke or head trauma.

When is CT of the brain needed?

CT of the brain is recommended when the patient has the following symptoms:

• Severe headache — if the pain is very intense or constant, or when headaches do not subside after taking regular painkillers.
• Head trauma — falls, impacts, accidents, or other injuries that may lead to internal brain damage.
• Neurological disorders — paralysis, numbness, speech, coordination, or vision problems.
• Suspected stroke — if there are symptoms like sudden weakness in the arms or legs, problems with speech, memory, or coordination.
• Hemorrhage — when suspecting brain hemorrhage.
• Tumors — if there is suspicion of neoplasms in the brain.
• Increased intracranial pressure — if symptoms suggest increased pressure inside the skull.

CT of the brain without contrast

CT of the brain without contrast is a standard examination to detect major issues such as trauma, hemorrhages, or skull dislocations. This method provides sufficiently clear images for primary diagnosis and identification of major pathologies.

When to perform CT without contrast:

• To detect general damage after trauma.
• To determine the location of hemorrhage in case of a stroke.
• When there is suspicion of skull fractures or brain tissue damage.

CT of the brain with contrast

CT of the brain with contrast allows obtaining a clearer image of blood vessels and brain tissues. Contrast is used to detect neoplasms, inflammatory processes, or severe trauma.

When to perform CT with contrast:

• To detect brain tumors.
• If there is suspicion of vascular changes or aneurysms.
• For a more detailed analysis of blood circulation in the brain after a stroke.
• When there is suspicion of inflammation of the brain membranes or other complex processes.

Contrast helps obtain clearer images, which aids the doctor in making the correct treatment decision.
