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.
Why are CT scans used in sinus studies?
Brain scans can detect tumors, strokes, and hematomas (collections of blood that have escaped from the vessels). The introduction of CT scanning, especially spiral CT, has helped reduce the need for more invasive procedures such as cerebral angiography
What are the advantages of Positron emission tomography?
PET scans can see inside the brain
What is the purpose of lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans?
to detect pulmonary embolisms, determine how much blood is flowing to lungs, determine which areas of the lungs are capable of ventilation, and assess how well the lungs are functioning

Can PET scans identify individuals with personality disorders?
Yes and no. PET scans can detect the deterioration of brain cells such as in Alzheimer's Disease, etc. PET scans can also show that the 2 chemicals in the brain are not balanced and therefore can cause a person to become depressed (many different forms of depression) but it is up to a psychiatrist to determine what type of depression the person has.

What more complex brain scans would probably follow an EEG to help a person with migraine seizures?
fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans
How were liver scans used in the past?
