    This document provides information and guidelines for performing a CT scan of the brain. It lists the key anatomical structures that should be visible in the images and describes the scanning protocol. The preparation, positioning, and imaging of the patient are outlined. Common abnormalities that may be detected on brain CT scans are also listed, such as hemorrhage, infarction, tumors, enlarged ventricles, infection, and inflammation. The use of contrast is discussed for aiding in the identification of some conditions.
