CT - Brain with Venogram
CT Brain with Venogram (CT Venography) is an advanced imaging test that combines standard CT brain imaging with detailed visualization of the venous system of the brain. Using contrast dye, this scan provides clear images of cerebral veins and venous sinuses.
It is particularly useful in detecting conditions such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), venous blockages, and other abnormalities affecting venous drainage from the brain. The test also helps assess brain structures for associated complications like swelling, hemorrhage, or infarction.
CT Brain with Venogram is quick, non-invasive, and widely used in emergency and routine neurological evaluations. It plays an important role in diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the brain’s venous circulation.
This test is recommended for individuals with:
- Severe or persistent headache
- Suspected cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)
- Seizures
- Neurological symptoms such as weakness or confusion
- Unexplained stroke-like symptoms
- Increased intracranial pressure
- Abnormal findings on other brain imaging
