About CT Scan for the Brain
Stroke accounts for 1 of every 15 deaths in the United States each year, with another 700,000 people experiencing strokes. In addition, 13,000 people are diagnosed with brain cancer in the United States each year.
When it comes to brain disorders, early detection is the key for survival.
NYU Medical at Columbus’ Brain Scan procedure is an excellent method for viewing and identifying brain disorders. It can provide detailed images of several types of tissue including bone, soft tissue, and blood vessels. Brain scan can help a doctor diagnose and treat the following conditions:
- Brain tumors and other abnormal brain growths
- Bleeding, blood clots or signs of stroke
- Diseases of the inner ear such as Meniere disease
- Ruptured or leaking cerebral aneurysms
- Brain damage after head injury
