Default ct scan spot

I picked up my actual CT scan recently. The Dr. got the radiologists opinion that it was fine. Looking on the internet I saw photos of before & after brain surgeries. There it is & then it's gone. My scan shows a black spot about the size of 3/4th of a dime where my AVM was. So am I correct in assuming that spot is where the "small" bleed was in early 90's? I also was told that the second surgeon only went so far because of the location. I can't wait to get ahold of the actual records of the second surgery.
So if anyone looks @ their own Ct scans & have some knowledge I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi flopper,
I haven't seen my CT scans but I have seen my MRI's before and after surgery and I can see the area where they removed scar tissue on the RTL along with more scars that were never there before until I had a veeg where they did surgery and planted 4 electrodes on the RTL and 3 on the LTL. It may be possible that what you are seeing is scars from where surgery was done. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Thanks Sue!

That would make sense since the second surgeon had to remove the mess the first one left behind.
