Head Injury Test Package at Affordable Price

Any damage to the brain whether an open/penetrating or closed injury. A closed head injury can be due to a hard blow to the head from an object hitting. A penetrating head injury means that the hitting object has penetrated the skull entering into the brain.

The head injury package includes:

• CT scan head
• X-ray AP/LAT

Yes, for some evident and serious head injuries, you need to get advanced diagnostic imaging tests that help in evaluating the damage caused to your brain. When CT scans are not able to show pathology accounting to the clinical state, MRI scans are used.

CT scan is the choice of diagnostic technique in traumatic brain injury(TBI) for both triage and follow up. It is preferred because of its accuracy and fast process in detecting primary and secondary injuries requiring neurosurgical intervention.

An X-ray can help in the detection of fractures after a head injury. X-ray is also helpful in detecting foreign bodies, masses, and other defects in the X-ray images that can help evaluate traumatic brain injury. Although CT scan is a preferred choice if the injury is severe as the CT scan provides more information about the injury.

Danger signs of head injury:

• One pupil gets larger than other
• Drowsiness or inability to get up
• Speech problems
• Weakness or numbness 
• Decreased coordination
• Repeated vomiting and nausea
• Seizures or convulsions
• Headache that gets worse and does not go away

Ice/cold application on the site of injury can help in the reduction of swelling and pain. In serious head injuries, sometimes the skull is shaken inside as well that might make you sick or drowsy.

A CT and MRI scans can show previous brain injuries such as an atrophied brain. Brain atrophy is caused when injured brain or dead brain tissue is reabsorbed after traumatic brain injury. Some brain injuries might not recover completely, leading to detectable changes even years after the TBI.
