Overview

Head CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of the cause of amnesia. Structural and functional abnormalities are identified to detect any bleeding, stroke, tumor, atrophy or any changes suggestive of amnesia.

CT scan

• CT scan showed reduced bloodflow to occipital lobe, caudate nucleus, and frontal lobe gray matter in patients suffering from post-traumatic amnesia.
