What Is a CT Scan?
Computed Tomography (CT), also known as a CAT scan, uses a series of X-rays taken from multiple angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It's a fast, accurate tool used to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions.
What Can a CT Scan Detect?
CT scans are often used when precision and speed are essential. Common uses include:
Trauma & Injury
Head injuries, internal bleeding, and complex bone fractures.
Cancer Detection
Monitoring tumors and detecting cancer in various organs.
Chest & Abdominal Issues
Lung disease, appendicitis, kidney stones, and digestive disorders.
What to Expect During Your CT Scan
CT scans are quick, non-invasive, and painless. They’re designed for speed and clarity, often completed in just a few minutes.
- Preparation: You may be asked to avoid food or drink before the scan. In some cases, contrast material may be used to enhance image clarity.
