CT scan is reliable to detect problems like Cardiovascular Disease, Infectious Disease, Appendicitis. Also, you examine for Cancer, Musculoskeletal Disorders and Trauma by it. It can be life-saving for patients in Trauma by helping doctors to evaluate internal injuries and bleeding quickly. To create and interpret CT scans of the body, we require the expertise of radiologists.

According to a survey, about 72 million people in the United States underwent a CT scan during the year 2007, whereas about 80 million in the year 2015.

We regularly diagnose patients suffering from various problems at our CT scan hospital.

HOW DOES A CT SCAN OF YOUR BODY WORKS?

During CT scanning, your body has rotating several x-ray beams and electronic x-ray detectors around it. By such, you can measure the amount of radiation-absorbing throughout your body. While some scans, the x-ray beam follows a spiral path due to a movement of the exam table.

CT scan uses a particular computer program to create two-dimensional cross-sectional images of your body by processing this large volume of data. Later, a monitor displays images to you. Sometimes, CT imaging is comparable to a loaf of bread. Computer software reassembles the image slices to give you a multi-dimensional view of your body’s interior in detail.

CT scanners obtain multiple slices in a single rotation as they use refinements in detector technology. It is possible to get thinner slices in a shorter time by multislice or multidetector CT.

Nowadays, we are available with Modern CT scanners that are reliable to scan large sections of the body in very little time at trauma centre hospital. In the case of children, it merely takes a few seconds for scanning though this high speed benefits all patients whether children, the elderly or critically ill.

WHAT STEPS CT SCAN OF YOUR BODY INVOLVES?

First of all, the technologist positions you right on the CT exam table by making you lye flat on the bed. You may get straps and pillows for maintaining the right position while remaining still during the CT exam.

Note: Mostly, scanning for children is faster without sedation. Children may require sedation if they cannot hold still. Movement while scanning can cause blurring of images to degrade the quality of photographs.

Next, to determine the correct starting position for scans, the table quickly moves through the scanner. During the process of a CT scan, your table moves slowly through the machine. You may go through several passes depending upon the type of CT scan.

On completion of the exam, a technologist will ask you to wait for checking the quality of images for interpreting accurately.
