Spiral CT Scan of Brain Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of Brain?

A spiral CT scan of the brain is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a continuous X-ray beam to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the brain. The ""spiral"" or ""helical"" scanning technique allows for faster and more comprehensive images compared to traditional CT scans.

It is often used to detect conditions such as brain tumors, strokes, hemorrhages, head injuries, or infections. Contrast dye may be injected to enhance the visibility of blood vessels and abnormalities.

This scan helps doctors assess brain structure, plan treatment, or monitor conditions affecting brain health.

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
