This document provides an overview of brain CT, including its history, principles, indications, anatomy, and normal findings. It discusses how CT uses X-rays to reconstruct high-definition cross-sectional images of the brain, and how densities are described. Key indications for brain CT include acute stroke, head injury, and mental status changes. Normal anatomy seen on CT includes the ventricles, sulci and fissures, basal ganglia, and pineal and choroid plexus calcifications in many adults. The document outlines important axial slice locations and normal variations to aid physicians in accurate CT interpretation.
