Had a head CT scan, what can it find?


I had a head CT scan without the dyes. What can it find? I was concerned of unruptured anuresym.
I was told that the CT scans now a days can detect it even without the dye.
Any insight?

CT without contrast (dye) is the best imaging to view any bleeding in the brain.

ct scan can detect a number of things. such as bleeds, strokes, aneurysm, clogged Karita arteries.. depends on what they are looking for.hope your test all come back well
