Accurate Diagnostic Imaging to Support Patient Care
Why Might a CT Scan Be Needed?
Your doctor may recommend a CT scan to investigate symptoms, evaluate injuries, confirm a diagnosis, monitor a medical condition, or assist in planning treatment. CT imaging provides detailed information that may not be visible on conventional X-rays.
What Conditions Can a CT Scan Help Evaluate?
Depending on the area being examined, CT imaging can assist doctors in evaluating head injuries, stroke, persistent headaches, chest conditions, lung diseases, abdominal disorders, kidney stones, spinal conditions, fractures, trauma-related injuries, tumours, infections and other medical conditions affecting internal organs and body structures.
What is CT Angiography?
CT angiography is a specialized CT examination used to visualize blood vessels. It helps doctors assess vascular conditions affecting the brain, lungs, abdomen, and upper or lower limbs, providing detailed images of the circulatory system. These images can help in the evaluation of narrowing, blockage, abnormal blood vessels and other vascular conditions.
What Does 3D, 42-Slice CT Mean?
Our CT scanner acquires multiple image slices during each rotation, allowing the reconstruction of detailed cross-sectional and 3D images. This enables doctors to view body structures from different perspectives, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Is a CT Scan Safe?
CT scans use carefully controlled amounts of X-ray radiation. The examination is performed when medically indicated, and the information obtained often plays an important role in diagnosis and patient care. If you have concerns, our healthcare team will be happy to answer your questions before the procedure.
Preparing for Your CT Scan
Preparation for a CT scan depends on the type of examination being performed. Some CT scans require no special preparation, while others, particularly those involving contrast material, may require you to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the examination.
If you have previous imaging studies or medical reports related to your condition, you may be asked to bring them with you. This can help doctors compare findings and better understand your medical history.
Please inform our healthcare team if you have any known allergies, especially to contrast material, have kidney disease, diabetes, or if you may be pregnant. This information helps ensure the examination is performed safely and appropriately.
Our radiology team will provide specific instructions based on the type of CT scan requested and will be available to answer any questions before your examination.
