Detailed Imaging for Brain Health
A CT Brain Scan (also known as a CT Head Scan) is an essential tool for diagnosing brain conditions. At Atharv Diagnostic Center, we use advanced CT imaging technology to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the brain, helping identify problems quickly and accurately.
What is a CT Brain Scan?

Brain injuries or trauma
Stroke
Brain tumors or growths
Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain)
Infections or inflammation
Abnormalities in blood vessels
Why is a CT Brain Scan Important?
Quick Diagnosis: The scan provides fast, clear results, which are crucial for immediate treatment in emergency situations like stroke or trauma.
