CT SCAN

CT Scan

A computerized tomography (CT or CAT) scan is a type of medical imaging that uses X-rays to create detailed three-dimensional images of the body’s internal organs and structures. It is commonly used to detect and diagnose multiple different medical conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and other medical problems. It is also used to guide the placement of medical devices, such as catheters, during procedures. CT scans are non-invasive, painless, and often complete in about 30 minutes.

During a CT scan, a person lies down in a large X-ray machine called a CT scanner. This CT scan machine takes several X-ray images of the body from different angles. Then the scanner sends images to a computer. This is a safe procedure and has very low radiation.

Advanced CT Scan

Advanced CT scans, also known as multi-slice CT scans, are a type of medical imaging that can produce high-resolution images of the body’s internal organs and structures. Advanced CT scans use multiple X-ray beams to create an even more detailed and accurate picture than standard CT scans. They are commonly used to diagnose numerous medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other medical problems. Advanced CT scans are fast, safe, and non-invasive that usually take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete.

Helical Multi-Slice CT Scans are a type of medical imaging that uses X-rays to create detailed three-dimensional images of the body’s internal organs and structures. A helical multi-slice CT scan combines multiple X-ray beams with a spiral scanning technique to create an even more detailed and accurate picture than standard CT scans. Helical multi-slice CT scans detect and diagnose different medical conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other medical problems. This type of scan is usually painless, non-invasive, and usually takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete
