A cephalic plain scan is a thorough scanning examination of a patient's head by a physician using medical equipment to detect possible intracranial disorders. This technique is widely used in neurosurgery, neurology, and other fields to help doctors make an initial diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. Also, cranial plain scanning plays an important role in the evaluation of conditions such as brain diseases and injuries.
Common medical devices used in cephalometric scanning include X-rays, CTs and MRIs. These devices can accurately examine the structures and lesions inside a patient's skull without performing craniotomy. Through cranial scans, doctors can detect intracranial diseases, such as tumors, cerebrovascular lesions, infectious diseases, etc., so as to give timely treatment and rehabilitation guidance.
It is important to note that cranial scanning is a complex examination technique that requires specialized physicians and appropriate equipment. Patients should inform their physician of their medical and allergy history before undergoing a cephalometric scan, and should follow their physician's specific instructions to avoid discomfort or injury due to improper handling. In addition to the examination itself, patient safety is also an issue that requires special attention in cephalometric scanning.
