CT head with contrast
Can CT head with contrast detect brain tumour? My father had it 3 month ago which was fine... he had some symptoms that time which got fine on its own.. now again he has the same symptoms- head pressure and limb weakness
He also has pacemaker since 5 years so he can't have MRI!!! Can u plz tell if CT with contrast can show tumour that time? Our doctor said nothin to do except giving multivitamins and muscle relaxants

Since it's been 3 months, kindly repeat the CT with contrast (preferably with 1mm cuts). This can detect if there are any lesions in the brain.
