CT Scan

A CT scan, also known as Computed (Axial) Tomography scan, combines x-rays and computer technology to generate comprehensive images of bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels simultaneously. In some cases, a contrast dye may be administered intravenously to enhance the visibility of internal body structures in the images. CT scans are usually completed within approximately 5 minutes and are frequently employed in emergency rooms thanks to their rapid results. It's important to note that CT scans involve exposure to radiation, as they utilize x-rays. These scans are commonly used for assessing bone injuries, brain conditions, lung disorders, heart conditions, abdominal and pelvic diseases, as well as for cancer detection.
