What Does My Following CT Scan Indicate?
I was just told the results of my ct brain - there is a moderate area of gliosis in the posterior superior aspect of the left frontal lobe consistent with an old ischaemic infarct. The brain parenchyma otherwise has a normal apearance with good preservation of the grey-white matter interface. Normal enhancement of the vessels is demonstrated.
