Abstract

CT scan (Computerized Tomography) is a diagnostic tool using radiographic techniques with absorption of x-rays. The results of the picture are in the form of hypodensity or hyperdensity. CT scan is one of the gold standard supporting examination tools for diagnosing stroke in the presence of hypodense (stroke infarction) and the presence of hyperdensity (hemorrhagic stroke). ECVT (Electrical capacitance volume tomography) is a static electric field-based scanning system capable of scanning from inside the wall to the outside of the wall. ECVT can describe the electrical conditions of the brain. Early detection of the incidence of stroke is needed, especially in Puskesmas facilities as the leading health service in Indonesia. This study aims to see the suitability of the CT scan and ECVT results in normal patients. This study is a cross-sectional prospective diagnostic test with analytic data analysis to assess sensitivity and specificity. This study was conducted on 20 normal patients by performing a CT scan. and ECVT. CT scan results in 20 normal patients showed no hypodense lesions and abnormal positions. In the ECVT results, there is a difference in the distribution of brain electrical activity between normal patients. In normal patients, the value of the quantification range of the brain electrical activity index between normal patients relatively was not different.
