It is widely used in emergency and routine settings to detect brain hemorrhage, stroke, head trauma, fractures, brain swelling, tumors, and hydrocephalus. This scan is often the first imaging test advised for patients with sudden headache, loss of consciousness, seizures, or neurological symptoms. NCCT provides fast and clear cross-sectional images, helping doctors make quick and accurate treatment decisions.
