BRAIN SCAN

Brain Scans Include Several Types Of Imaging Techniques Used To Diagnose Tumors, Blood Vessel Malformations, Stroke, Injuries, Abnormal Brain Development, And Hemorrhage In The Brain

HRCT THOPRAX SCAN

High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) Is A Method Of Examination Which Is More Precise Than Chest 2-Rat In The Diagnosis And Monitoring Of Diseases Of The Lung Tissue And The Airways. Modern CT Equipment Enables A Volume HRCT Scan Covering The Whole Lung Tissue.

ABDO- PELVIS

An Abdominal And Pelvic CT Scan Can Diagnose Obstructions, Kidney Stones, Hernias, Masses, Tumors, Infections, Aneurysms And Many Other Problems.

KUB

Computed Tomography Of Kidneys, Ureters And Bladder (CT KUB) Is A Quick Non-Invasive Technique For Diagnosis Of Urolithiasis. It Is Usually Considered The Initial Imaging Modality For Suspected Urolithiasis In An Emergency Setting

ORBIT

A CT Of The Orbits Is An Exam That Takes Very Thin Slice Images Of The Eyes And Orbital Socket At Three Different Angles. This Allows For The Diagnosis Of A Range Of Conditions Such As Injury, Disease And Congenital Defects.

P.N.S

CT PNS Is A CT Scan Of Paranasal Sinus Cavities. CT Scan Is Also Known As Computerized Tomography. It Uses Special X-Ray Equipment That Provides Detailed And Accurate Results. It Is A Non-Invasive Reliable Imaging Technique To Detect An Obstruction Or Inflammation In The Sinus

NECK

A Neck CAT Scan Can Detect Signs Of Disease In The Throat And Surrounding Areas. Doctors May Order A Neck CAT Scan To Look For Signs Of An Infection (Such As An Abscess), An Injury, A Birth Defect, Cysts, Or Tumors.

HOW DOES A CT SCAN WORK?

• A CT Scan Machine Is A Large, Tunnel-Like Structure With A Table That Slowly Moves Through It. The Person Will Be Asked To Lie On The Table, To Start The Scan.
• As The Table Slowly Moves Into The CT Machine, A Scanner Inside The Machine Rotates Around The Body And Takes A Series Of X-Rays From Different Angles. When One Rotation Of The Scanner Is Completed, It Means One Full Slice Is Completed And The Image Gets Stored In The Computer.
• The Rotation Of The X-Ray Scanner Then Repeats To Produce Another Image Slice. Thus, The Process Is Continued Until The Desired Number Of Image Slices Are Collected, Up To 256 Slices.
• These Collected Image Slices Can Be Either Displayed Individually Or Stacked Together In Order To Generate A 3-D Image Of The Patient By The Computer That Stores The Images During The Scan.
• The Individual Image Slices Or The 3-D Image Of The Body, Makes The Doctor’s Job Easier To Spot The Exact Location Of The Problem.

Why Is A CT Scan Prescribed?

• In General, A Doctor May Prescribe A CT Scan Either To Diagnose A Disease Or To Evaluate The Injuries. A CT Scan Helps The Doctor To;
• Detect Any Bone Disorders Or Problems In The Joints, Such As Complex Bone Fractures And Tumours
• During Treatment Plans Or Procedures Such As A Biopsy, Radiation Therapy Or Surgery
• View The Presence Of Internal Injuries Or Internal Bleeding In Cases Of Trauma Or Accidents
• Spots The Exact Location Where An Infection Or A Tumour Or Blood Clot Is Present, Including Cancer
• Monitor The Effectiveness Of The Treatments For Certain Medical Conditions, Like Cancer, Heart Disease Etc.

CT SCAN PROCEDURE:

• Ct Scan Is A Day- Care Procedure And Does Not Need Hospitalization. The Patient Can Get Back To Home Once The Scan Gets Completed.
• Prior To The Scan, The Patient Will Be Asked To Abstain From The Food, And Take Only Liquids, For A Specific Period Of Time. On The Day Of Scan, The Patient Will Be Provided With A Hospital Gown To Wear And Asked To Remove All The Jewellery And Metal Fastenings.Then The Ct Scan Procedure Will Be Started, Which Includes The Following Steps:
• At First, The Patient Will Be Made To Lie Down On The Motorized Table That Moves Into The Ct Machine, Facing Upwards.
• The Patient May Be Asked To Change Their Position I.E., Either To Face Downwards Or Sideways, If Needed.
• The Radiologist Can Communicate With The Patient With An Intercom, Which Helps To Give Instructions, If Any.
• During The Scan, The Patient Needs To Be Very Still, As Any Movement Can Blur The Image.
• The Scan Gets Complete, Until The Number Of Desired Image Slices Are Collected, As Per Prescribed By The Doctor.
