CT Scan (Computed Tomography Scan)
A CT scan is a specialized X-ray examination, which produces clear pictures of the inside of the body. CT is excellent at showing soft tissue, air, fluid, bone, vessels, & all other internal structures of the body, allowing doctors to identify any issues.
New technology allows CT to be painless, stress-free, and extremely fast. In some instances, a CT scan might use a ‘contrast agent’ (a dye containing iodine), that is either drunk or injected, to enhance the image and provide a clearer view of the patient’s anatomy.
CT scans can be used to diagnose and monitor a variety of various health conditions, including:
- Brain diseases like tumors, atrophy, hydrocephalus, etc.
- Bone conditions, and injuries
- Abdominal & pelvic diseases
- Kidney stones
- Head injury and ischemia
- Angiographic studies
- Respiratory diseases
