What does a ct scan of brain non contrast pick up?
A non contrast brain CT scan can pick up bleeds in or around the brain. It can also detect skull fractures and calcifications within the brain. Certain tumours can also be seen without the use of contrast.
What does unremarkable mean in a CT of the brain without contrast?
"Unremarkable" in a CT of the brain without contrast means that there are no abnormal findings or any significant issues detected in the brain images. It suggests that the brain appears normal and there are no visible signs of disease or injury.
Why trauma not use contrast in ct brain?
Traumatic lesions to the brain are well seen without i.v. contrast agents. In particular, traumatic hemorrhage, be it epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, parenchymal or intraventricular, is spontaneously hyperdense on CT. Theoretically, i.v. contrast would be, at best useless, at worst counterproductive.
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
Is a cat scan or an mri more accurate at detecting brain aneurysms?

What are punctate foci?
Punctate foci are 'lesions' on the brain, typically caused by unknown trauma to the brain or conditions where demyelination of brain tissue occurs. Punctate foci are identified by brain MRI, with and without contrast although using contrast normally provides a more accurate picture of all lesions. In layman's terms, punctate foci have also been described as 'popcorn calcifications' in the brain tissue. Some punctate foci are associated with normal aging process.
