Reports
Computed Tomography Scan (or) CT Scan can image the anatomy of organs in our body, pinpoint the areas of disease location and spread, and find the aggressiveness of tumours, and infections.
A CT scan machine emits X-rays from various angles around our body and by using reconstructive algorithms, produces a 3D reconstruction of the bones and organs within our body.
Why should you take a CT Scan?
- CT Scans are an important tool that can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions.
- Can be used to detect both cancerous and noncancerous tumours.
- The scan uses x-rays to create a detailed image of the body, and it can often provide more information than an x-ray alone.
- CT Scans can be used to diagnose problems with the bones, organs, and soft tissues, and they can sometimes be used to detect cancer.
If your doctor suspects that you have a problem that could be identified with a CT scan, it is important to schedule an appointment with the nearest Aarthi Scans CT scan centre as soon as possible.
CT Scan procedure
Though it is generally safe and has few side effects, there are a few things to consider before undertaking a CT scan. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid CT scans because the radiation may harm the developing foetus or infant. Additionally, people with kidney problems may be at risk for complications from the contrast dye used in CT scans. Before undertaking a CT Scan, be sure to talk to your doctor about any risks or concerns you may have.
Things to consider before undertaking a CT scan
Before undertaking a CT scan, ask your doctor any questions you have about the procedure and what it involves. Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye or if you have any other allergies.
You will be asked to remove any jewellery or metal objects prior to the scan. You may also be asked to remove clothing and wear a gown during the procedure. You will be asked to lie still on a table while the CT scanner takes images of the area being studied. The scanner is large and circular and moves around you as it takes pictures. During the scan, you may hear buzzing or clicking noises as well as see flashes of light. The technologist performing the scan will be able to see and hear you at all times during the procedure via an intercom system in the scan room.
Once the scan is complete, you will be able to get off the table and dress. In some cases, a contrast dye may be used during your CT scan. Contrast dye is injected into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line in your arm before the CT scanning begins. The contrast helps highlight certain areas inside your body and makes them easier to read on the CT images. If contrast dye is used, you may feel flushed or warm during or after its injection; this feeling should quickly go away.
