Case Description :
A Computed Tomography (CT) scan is one of the advanced diagnostic imaging services offered by Medical Imaging Consultants. It uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the body, providing doctors with clear insights into bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. This service is often requested when more detail is needed beyond what a standard X-ray can provide.
Typical Cases Where CT Scans Are Used
- Head & Brain: Detecting strokes, bleeding, tumors, or trauma.
- Chest: Evaluating lung diseases, infections, pulmonary embolism, and cancers.
- Abdomen & Pelvis: Diagnosing appendicitis, kidney stones, liver disease, and tumors.
- Musculoskeletal: Assessing fractures, joint problems, or bone tumors.
- Vascular Imaging (CT Angiography): Checking blood vessels for blockages, aneurysms, or malformations.
- Cancer Care: Staging cancers, monitoring treatment, and guiding biopsies.
