Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's symptoms and the
CT scan findings.
It is fairly easy to differentiate calcium deposits from bleeding in the brain on a CT scan of brain. We need to use the Hounsefield
unit values which can be done on the console in CT room.
In any cases, CT scan s the modality of choice for detecting both calcium deposits and bleeding in brain.
However, in research studies,
MRI brain is supposed to be superior for studying bleeding in the brain.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
