A CT scan involves combining a series of X-rays taken from different angles of the head to produce images of a person’s brain. CT scans are the most common type of brain scan used in dementia diagnosis.
They are useful for ruling out other conditions that cause similar symptoms to dementia and at showing changes to brain structure that occur in diseases like Alzheimer’s.
CT scans can show:
- stroke related damage.
- brain shrinkage (atrophy) and blood vessel changes seen in dementia.
- signs of a brain tumour.
- build-up of fluid or blood in the brain.
