Ct scan
Overview
Overview
The computed tomography (CT) scan is a useful tool for diagnosing illnesses and injuries. It uses a series of X-rays and a computer to produce 3D images of soft tissues and bones. CT is a painless, non-invasive procedure performed in a secure environment by a specialist.

- CT scans can detect bone and joint problems, such as complex bone fractures and abscesses.
- If you have a condition such as cancer, heart disease, emphysema, or masses of the liver, CT scans can detect or help doctors see any changes.
- They show internal injuries and bleeding, such as those caused by a car accident.
- They can help diagnose a tumour, a blood clot, excess fluid, or infection.
- Doctors use them to direct treatment programs and procedures, such as biopsies, surgery, and radiation therapy.
- Doctors can compare CT scans to see if certain medications are effective. For example, a scan of a tumour over time may indicate whether it is responding to chemotherapy or radiation.
Procedure:
- The bed moves slowly into a doughnut-shaped scanner. At this point, you will need to be as quiet as possible because the movement can create blurry images.
- The cameraman takes photographs of the area where the health care provider needs to see it. Unlike an MRI scan, a CT scan is silent.
- When the test is complete, the table is retrieved from the scanner.
