Overview

Head CT scan may be diagnostic of meningioma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of meningioma include homogeneously hyperdense lesion, calcification, hyperostosis, lytic lesions and pneumosinus dilatans.^[1]

CT Scan

Head CT scan may be diagnostic of meningioma.^[1]
Findings on CT scan suggestive of meningioma include:^[1]

Homogeneously hyperdense lesion
Calcification
Hyperostosis
Lytic lesions
Pneumosinus dilatans

Meningioma is highly vascularized thus it is readily visualized with contrast head CT scan.^[1]
Head CT scan confirms the location of the meningioma and illustrates any invasion to the surrounding brain tissue.
Head CT scan may be used to determine if the meningioma could be surgically resected.
