Hello, Your mother brain CT findings are indicative of chronic changes to the brain vessels and also repeated strokes. For this reason, I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries, a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG. It is necessary check her blood lipid profile too. A blood thinner is necessary to prevent further strokes or aggravation of her situation. It is also necessary to maintain her blood pressure and blood lipid profile under control. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
