Computed tomography (CT), unenhanced: Unenhanced computed tomography of cranium

You have had a CT scan done.

A CT scan involves sending X-rays through the body. This produces images of the part of the body that has been scanned. The images show the body as though it were cut into slices. This enables a view of the inside of the body. CT images make bones particularly easy to assess.

You have had a CT scan done on your head.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
