What Does A Brain CT Scan Showing Shadow Indicate?

My husband has been very confused lately and had a headache for two weeks. He has a history of Pulinary embolisms. He had a ct with contrast on his brain, and they found a shadow. They say he needs an mri to find out what it is. Is a shadow common? What can cause it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, CT image finding not being given in proper way so without the exact term difficult to say anything, but such headache may not be due to any disease but most of the time this is due to functional one, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
