CT Scans
CT stands for computed tomography, and is a medical imaging test that uses x-rays to produce detailed images of internal structures in the body.
CT scans can be used to diagnose a variety of medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders.
CT scans are non-invasive and relatively quick, usually taking only a few minutes to complete. They are generally painless, although some patients may need to receive a contrast dye before the test which can cause a feeling of warmth or mild discomfort.
CT scans are highly accurate, producing images with very fine detail that can be used to make a precise diagnosis.
These scans can be used to guide other medical procedures, such as biopsies or radiation therapy.Â
Computed tomography scans can be performed on patients of all ages, including children and older adults.
