CT Scan Services

A CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses X-rays and advanced computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It provides highly accurate visualizations of internal organs, bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues, making it a vital diagnostic tool for detecting injuries, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities. During the scan, the patient lies on a motorized table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped machine, which rotates to capture multiple X-ray images from different angles. These images are then processed by a computer to produce detailed 2D or 3D views. CT scans are commonly used in emergencies, preoperative planning, cancer diagnosis, and monitoring treatment progress. In some cases, a contrast dye may be administered orally or intravenously to enhance image clarity. While CT scans are quick and effective, they do involve exposure to a small amount of radiation, which is carefully managed to ensure patient safety.
