Computer scans of cerebral vascular arterial formation are one of the optimal methods for timely detection of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage lesions. It is also a powerful support tool to help doctors quantize damage to cerebral embolization by region. In addition, CT scans of cerebral blood vessels will also assess lesions such as cerebral aneurysms, cerebral artery malformation … early diagnosis of a stroke.

1. What is a computer scan of cerebral vessels?

A stroke, also known as a cerebral vascular accident, is a very common emergency condition. It is divided into two types: cerebral infarction (cerebral vascular embolosis) and cerebral hemorrhage (cerebral bleeding). The disease usually occurs in older people accompanied by other diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslevenous disorders, cerebral aneurysms … Therefore, detecting signs for diagnosis and having timely treatment regimens for these patients will save their lives while reducing the incidence of disability or migrating left by the disease.

To diagnose the disease accurately and early, a computer scan of the cerebral vessels will be one of the preferred options of doctors. This is one of the methods that uses advanced imaging techniques together with X-rays to diagnose neurovascular pathology.

CT scans of cerebral vessels are capable of diagnosing cerebral vascular malformation, cerebral aneurysms, cavernous carotose artery detection or cases that need to be evaluated for stenosis, cerebral artery thrombosis, vein sinuses.

2. When is the contrainmity and contrainmity in what cases?

2.1. CT scan of cerebral vessels is insular

Your doctor will prescribe a computer scan of your cerebral vessels in the following cases:

● People with suspected cerevascular abnormalities such as srachnoidal bleeding, cerebral mesenterosis, encephainal bleeding…

● People with signs of cerevascular malformation, or cerebral vascular malformation

● People with stroke due to cerebral infarction, arterial infarction, intravenous infarction

● People presenting with sural vein fistula, cavernous carotbolus artery probe

● People with vein thrombosis, cerebral vein sinuses

● People with vascular malformation in the scalp

● People with meningitis and need to evaluate the source of the tumor…

In addition, this method is also used for post-treatment monitoring of cerebral vascular pathology. In cases where surgical intervention or circuit node is required, a layer cutting technique of 64 or more ranges is required to assess the entire metal interference area.

2.2. Contraintent CT scan of cerebral vessels

● Cases where the examination area (brain) contains a lot of interference metals affecting the test results

● Pregnant women

● Cases of allergic reactions to iodine contrast.

3. What to prepare before the scan

Before the computer scan of the patient's face will be required to remove all metal objects such as jewelry, dentures, hairpins … Because they can affect the test results.

Patients will be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours (about 4 to 6 hours) before the test.

Patients will be explained in detail by specialists and technicians about this technique to make coordination easier for patients.

If the patient cannot lie still, then the doctor may ask the patient to use sedatives.

4. Steps to perform a computer ctectry of cerebral vessels

The patient is instructed to lie on the table of the machine, the position is relaxed. At the same time, the patient will be fixed with a strap so that he can maintain the correct position throughout the examination. If the patient has small movement, the blurry image will reduce the quality of the image as well as the test results.

The technician began a positioning scan and proceeded to place the cranial field. This is followed by X-ray emits and processing of images that assess brain macrosynth into the brain, while selecting the necessary images that can observe the pathology most clearly.

Proceed to put the vein with an 18G needle, connecting a 2-barrel electric injection pump (of which 1 barrel is a drug and 1 barrel is physiological saline) along with iodized photothrhose. A non-injectable photocular scan will first be taken. The results were given to perform a general carry artery bolus test at the level of cervical vertebrae C4. After that, inject the photothrjet and continue using X-rays for the scan. The image obtained will be the system of the cerebral artery highlighting the pathology associated with cerebral blood vessels.

CT scans of cerebral vessels are capable of diagnosing cerebral vascular malformation, cerebral aneurysms, cavernous carotose artery detection or cases that need to be evaluated for stenosis, cerebral artery thrombosis, vein sinuses and many other diseases. In fact, brain diseases that are not examined and treated early can leave dangerous disease complications, which can even leave evidence for life.

CT scan of cerebral vascular microclass is one of the imaging techniques applied by Vinmec International Health Hub, thereby detecting brain diseases, cerebral blood malformation,… early diagnosis of early-stage stroke,… Especially to improve diagnostic results, Share99 has been continuing to invest in modern CT, X-ray and MRI scanners,... in combination with medical services for examination, treatment and early screening of cancers.

Especially nowadays, Mri/MRA is considered a "golden" tool for stroke screening. MRI is used to check the condition of most bodies in the body, which is especially valuable in detailed imaging of the brain or spinal nerve. Due to its good resolution and contrast, MRI images allow the detection of abnormalities hidden behind bone layers that other imaging methods are difficult to recognize. MRI may result in more accurate results than X-ray techniques (with the exception of vascular evaluation DSA) techniques in the diagnosis of brain, cardiovascular, and stroke diseases,… Furthermore, MRI scans do not cause the same side effects as in X-rays or computer-class (CT) scans.

Share99 International Health Hub currently owns a Tesla MRI 3.0 imaging system equipped with advanced equipment by GE Healthcare (USA) with high image quality, allowing for a comprehensive assessment, not missing injuries but reducing the shooting time. Silent technology reduces noise, creates comfort and stress for customers during shooting, making recording better quality and shortening shooting time. With a state-of-the-art MRI system and the application of modern brain intervention methods, a team of experienced and well-trained imaging and neurological diagnostic specialists, Share99 is a reputable stroke risk screening and examination address trusted by customers.

In the past; Share99 has successfully treated many cases of stroke, leaving no evidence: Saving the life of patients who have suffered 2 consecutive brain strokes; Responding to female foreign tourists escaping the "death door" stroke;…
