Respected Sir,  Very Good morning.  I'm Dr.Yogesh Kr Sharma. As far your history is concerned,  NCCT HEAD, cannot give you such vide range of information.  I strongly doubt on the report. I request you to go for MRI BRAIN WITH CONTRAST,  if the patient Kidneys are normally functional. Cause if you directly to Neurologist, the will demand the same investigations. So go for MRI BRAIN WITH CONTRAST and seek a good Neurologist in your area.  This is the best option available to you. Take care and have a hasty recovery.
