CT Brain Scans

Description
The patient has a lesion in the right occipital-parietal area (scan 5). The lesion appears white because it was accompanied by bleeding; blood absorbs more radiation than the surrounding brain tissue. Rostral is up, caudal is down; left and right are reversed. Scan 1 shows a section through the eyes and the base of the brain. (Courtesy of J. McA. Jones, Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, Oregon.)
