ct brain scan

[rachel marie]

i have had a ct scan on my head because i keep getting head pain mostly on right side of my head, it came back normal thank god .

but the only thing im worried about is was the ct scan good inuf??

would it of definitely picked up a brain tumor or anythink serious??

im only thinking this because i found out about mri scan and that normaly mri is what ppl have.

OP and interesting question, I have asked this before. The MRI scan is more detailed, I often think it depends on what they are trying to rule out. Like you I have headaches, my MRI scan showed something last year I am being scanned again next week, MRI, Peter

all my brain CT showed was that i didn't have any kind of horrible injury that would prevent them from hooking me up to the ECT machine. lol.
