Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

CT scan

There are no CT scan findings associated with Behcet disease. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of Behcet disease, which include:

  • Neurological lesions is often helpful in patients with CNS involvement
  • Enlargement of ventricles or subarachnoid spaces

Brain MRI and/or CT scanning for visualization of the neurological lesions is often helpful in patients with CNS involvement. Focal lesions may be observed anywhere in the CNS on the MRI, appearing as high signal on the T2-weighted images and low signal on the T1-weighted images. Flare images may be especially helpful. Enlargement of ventricles or subarachnoid spaces may be observed. However, the MRI findings of the brain may be normal even in the presence of neurologic involvement. Neuropsychologic testing results may be abnormal prior to any detectable lesions on neuro-imaging.
