Apart from any specific requests in the referral, it is appropriate to scroll through the brain in at least two planes in:
*Parenchymal window. In people over age 50-60, the main finding to look for is ischemia or stroke in the brain. It also allows for a quick glance of extra-cranial structures , the orbits and the orbitsparanasal sinuses.
