  1. What Does a CT Scan Show?

  2. Understanding CT Scans • CT stands for Computed Tomography • It uses X-rays taken from multiple angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body, often called 'slices’. • Provides high-resolution views of bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels, helping doctors like the Best Radiologist in Kurukshetra make accurate diagnoses.

  3. The CT Imaging Process • A donut-shaped machine (gantry) houses X- ray emitters and detectors. • The patient lies on a table that moves through the gantry. • A computer processes the data to reconstruct detailed 2D or 3D images.

  4. Visualizing Bones and Skeletal System • Excellent for detecting bone fractures, dislocations, and complex breaks. • Helps assess joint damage, degenerative conditions (like arthritis), and spinal abnormalities. • Crucial for surgical planning in orthopedic procedures.

  5. Examining Soft Tissues and Organs • Provides detailed views of abdominal and pelvic organs: liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, intestines, etc. • Detects tumors, cysts, infections, inflammation, and blockages. • Useful for identifying internal bleeding, gallstones, and kidney stones.

  6. CT Scans of the Chest • Diagnoses lung diseases like pneumonia, emphysema, bronchitis, and lung nodules or cancer. • Evaluates the heart and major blood vessels for conditions like aneurysms or blood clots. • Detects masses, fluid buildup (pleural effusion), or infections in the chest cavity. Brain and Head Imaging • Essential for quickly diagnosing strokes, brain tumors, and intracranial hemorrhages. • Assesses head injuries, detects skull fractures, and identifies bleeding after trauma. • Helps evaluate neurological conditions like dementia and infections.

  7. Key Benefits of CT Scans • Speed: Scans are very fast, making them ideal for emergency situations. • Detail: Provides highly detailed images of various body structures. • Versatility: Can image bone, soft tissue, and blood vessels in a single exam. • Non-invasive: Offers detailed internal views without the need for surgery.

  8. Your Health, Our Priority • CT scans provide indispensable insights into your health, aiding in early detection and effective management. • They are a vital tool for doctors to make informed diagnostic and treatment decisions. • Always consult with your physician to determine if a CT scan is appropriate for your specific health needs. • Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital is committed to providing high-quality diagnostic care.
