CT Scan

CT Scan

What is CT scan ?

Ct scan or Computed Tomography is a diagnostic procedure that provides real-time imaging. It uses a combination of X-ray and computer technology to provide high-resolution images. It generates a ‘slice’ or cut of a three-dimensional image in a two-dimensional pattern. A radiographic beam is emitted from
a tube that passes through the body tissues and hits the detectors. The detectors convert the photon signals from the beam into analyzable images on the connected computer screen. A CT scan is the most helpful to detect internal organ abnormalities, guide biopsies, assess malignancies, trauma injuries and more. With CT scan, differences in the densities as low as 1% can also be recognized.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • Before a CT scan the patient is explained about the procedure in detail. If a contrasting medium is required, the patient is advised not to take heavy solid foods from 4 hours before the treatment.
  • The patient is asked to remove metallic objects, jewelry and any other artifacts that may affect the image quality.
  • When the procedure starts, the patient is passed through a round tunnel. The inside of the tunnel rotates constantly sending many projections into the body.
  • To avoid blurry images, the patient has to avoid moving. The table has to pass fully through the scanner for the procedure to complete.
  • The images shown on the computer will be studied by a radiologist and a diagnosis given. The procedure may take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Arthrogram

An arthrogram is a diagnostic procedure done specifically for joint pain problems. Hip joint, Shoulder joint, knee joint, elbow joint, pelvic and wrist joint defects can be diagnosed with the help of an arthrogram. With the help of a prior injected dye, the ligaments, tendons and cartilages of these joints can be visualized in the resultant image.

Myelogram

A Myelogram is a diagnostic technique done to detect problems involving the spinal canal. It is done along along with an X-ray, CT, or MRI scan. A contrast dye is used to identify where the defect lies. Vertebral anomalies, spinal root problems, spinal cord problems, neural anomalies, pain involving the lower back, disc irregularities, nerve root problems and more can be diagnosed with the help of a myelogram.
