CT Scans

A CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) is a powerful diagnostic imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is widely used in medical diagnosis to detect various conditions, from internal injuries to complex diseases.

What is a CT Scan?

A CT scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles and uses advanced computer processing to create highly detailed images of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It is often recommended for diagnosing conditions that are not easily detectable with standard X-rays.

Here is a general price list for different types of CT scans. Prices may vary based on location, hospital, and additional contrast requirements:

* A fee of ₹500 is applicable for patients who require a CD print of their CT scan images.

1. Why is a CT Scan Performed?

Doctors may recommend a CT scan for several reasons, including:

• Detecting tumors, infections, or internal bleeding
• Evaluating bone fractures and joint problems
• Diagnosing lung diseases and heart conditions
• Planning and guiding surgeries or treatments
• Identifying blood clots, strokes, and other vascular issues
• Assessing injuries from accidents or trauma

2. Types of CT Scans

CT scans can be specialized to focus on different parts of the body, including:

• Head CT Scan - Used to diagnose brain injuries, strokes, and tumors.
• Chest CT Scan - Helps detect lung infections, pneumonia, and tumors.
• Abdominal CT Scan - Evaluates conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines.
• Cardiac CT Scan - Assesses heart conditions, coronary artery disease, and calcium buildup in arteries.
• Spinal CT Scan - Helps detect spinal fractures, disc problems, and other spine-related conditions.

3. How to Prepare for a CT Scan?

Preparation for a CT scan depends on the type of scan being performed. Here are some general guidelines:

• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal accessories.
• Avoid eating or drinking a few hours before the scan if a contrast dye is used.
• Inform your doctor about any allergies, pregnancy, or existing medical conditions.
• Remove any metallic objects such as jewelry, glasses, or dentures before the scan.

4. What to Expect During the Procedure?

CT scans can be specialized to focus on different parts of the body, including:

• Positioning - The patient lies on a motorized table that slides into the CT scanner.
• Scanning Process - The scanner rotates around the body, taking multiple X-ray images.
• Contrast Dye (if required) - A special dye may be injected or taken orally to enhance image clarity.
• Completion - The scan usually takes 10-30 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities afterward.

5. Are CT Scans Safe?

CT scans are generally safe, but they do involve exposure to low doses of radiation. The benefits often outweigh the risks, especially when used for accurate diagnosis. If you are pregnant or have concerns about radiation exposure, consult your doctor before undergoing a CT scan.

6. Advantages of a CT Scan

CT scans can be specialized to focus on different parts of the body, including:

• Quick and painless procedure
