A computed-tomography scan of the head that uses X-rays to produce fast, detailed cross-sectional images of the skull and brain. It is valued for its speed and is commonly used to assess the bony structures and to investigate a range of symptoms. At OMEGA the scan is performed on a 16-slice CT system and is non-contrast at the standard price, with contrast added when indicated.
