CT Scan of 6-month old girl |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: My 6 month old granddaughter had a ct of the brain that showed decreased attenuation in the left partial, what could that mean Dear Anita: In a CT scan, attenuation means amount of radiation being absorbed as it passes through a certain part of the body. This means that the left portion (I presume) has lower absorption of radiation compared to the opposite side. I hope this helps. |
