We believe every interaction with our patients is an opportunity!
Through computer processing, cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood arteries, and soft tissues inside your body are produced during a computerized tomography (CT) scan, which combines a number of X-ray images collected from various angles all over your body. Images from a CT scan offer more information than an X-ray would.
There are various applications for a CT scan, but it is especially useful for immediately examining patients who may have internal damage from automobile accidents or other types of trauma. Nearly every region of the body may be seen using a CT scan, which is also used to plan medical, surgical, or radiation treatments as well as detect diseases and injuries.
Why is it done?
A CT scan may be advised by your doctor to:
- Diagnose skeletal and muscular conditions, including bone cancers and fractures
- Identify a tumor, infection, or blood clot's location.
- help with surgical, biopsy, and radiation therapy procedures
- Find and keep an eye on ailments and diseases like cancer, heart disease, lung nodules, and liver masses.
- track the results of specific treatments, such cancer treatment
- Identify internal bleeding and injuries
