Ct scan came back normal
So I went to the Emergency room on Friday because I experienced lightheadness and some burning feeling in the side of my face. They ordered a CBC, EKG and Ct scan of my brain. All test came back normal. Now my question is, should I be content with the results of the CT scan? My PCP is sending me to Neurologist to check things out.
CT head without contrast is used to screen out gross abnormalities, such as fracture, hemorrhage, and/or obvious mass. If your neurologist feels additional workup is necessary, he/she may decide to order MRI brain with and without contrast to rule out more subtle abnormalities.
