Computed tomography, head or brain; without contrast material

AI EXPLANATION: A brain CT scan, also referred to as a head computed tomography or CAT scan, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses specialized X-ray equipment to capture detailed cross-sectional pictures of the skull and brain. During this scan, no intravenous contrast material is injected. The resulting images allow clinicians to examine brain tissue, bone structure, and surrounding spaces to help evaluate head injuries, severe headaches, stroke symptoms, unexplained dizziness, or other neurological conditions.
