There are several different reasons why one would be referred for a brain scan. Some examples include to clarify or rule out the presence of a brain tumor.
No. The doctor will ask you to urinate during the CT scan itself in order to get an accurate image.
A CT scan would be more useful to show the internal organs, muscles, veins and arteries. X-rays have a more limited scope. For example, problems with the liver, brain, pancreas and spleen can not be shown on an x-ray.
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
"Nil acute" after a brain scan indicates that there are no recent or acute abnormalities observed in the brain. This means there are no signs of conditions such as hemorrhages, strokes, or other urgent issues that would require immediate attention. Essentially, the scan results suggest that the brain appears normal in terms of acute pathology at the time of imaging.
The CT scan on the head showed mild age related atrophic changes to the brain which is what would be expected and normal in an aging person. The brain shrinks with age and the 4 ventricals become prominent. It is not anything to worry about in itself. The Doctor can tell you more.
If you are referring to a medical brain scan, it is performed on patients when their doctor suspects there might be some type of issue (i.e. trauma, cancer, degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's) with the brain. A brain scan might also be performed if a doctor wants to be sure all parts are functioning properly.
No. The doctor will ask you to urinate during the CT scan itself in order to get an accurate image.

Only if the tumor was located around/behind the eye, and thus pressing against the optic nerve. A brain tumor can only really be picked up via a C.A.T. scan.
No. A seizure is a functional result of brain activity. CT scans look at the structure of the brain - what does it look like, rather than what is it doing.

CAT SCAN is a medical procedure and so it would need to be arranged by a doctor or health-care professional.

It depends on where you live, how busy your local doctor is, and what you are looking to schedule the appointment for, when you are requesting a CT scan.
