Introduction
In general, brain CT scans can detect most cerebrovascular issues. A brain CT is a computed tomographic imaging technique that performs cross-sectional scanning of the skull and brain tissue, and it is usually capable of identifying most cerebrovascular problems by examining the skull and brain tissue. It is recommended to maintain a regular lifestyle and healthy eating habits, avoid foods high in oil, salt, and calories, and prevent blood viscosity that may lead to various diseases.
Under normal circumstances, brain CT can detect most cerebrovascular issues; however, specific problems such as complete imaging of vascular blockages require more in-depth examinations.
Brain CT is a diagnostic procedure that performs cross-sectional CT scanning of the skull and brain tissue. It can typically identify most cerebrovascular abnormalities related to the skull and brain tissue. Common cerebrovascular conditions include cerebral thrombosis, cerebral atherosclerosis, and cerebral infarction. These diseases often lead to symptoms such as intracranial hemorrhage or accidental bleeding due to brain tissue damage, which can be detected via brain CT scans, providing a basis for further diagnosis and treatment.
Prior to undergoing a brain CT scan, patients should remove metallic items such as hair accessories to avoid image artifacts. Additionally, women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should undergo this procedure with caution. It is recommended to maintain regular sleep patterns and healthy dietary habits, consume more light, green vegetables, and reduce intake of high-fat, high-salt, and high-calorie foods to prevent blood viscosity and lower the risk of cerebrovascular diseases. Maintaining an optimistic mindset and engaging in moderate exercise to enhance immune function are also important.
