CT Brain Test

A Computed Tomography(CT) scan gets thorough information about the brain tissues and brain structures. CT scan uses a series of X-ray images taken from different angles to produce a detailed image of the head and brain. We can also use other tests for brain-like MRI, but a CT scan is faster, painless, and non-invasive.
