  3. What is a CT Scan? • A CT scan, also known as a computed tomography scan, is a type of imaging test that uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed images of the inside of the body. • It is most often used to detect tumors, bleeding, or other abnormalities in the body. CT scans also allow doctors to view organs, bones, and other internal structures in great detail.

  4. How is a CT Scan Performed? • A CT scan is usually done in a hospital or clinic. The patient lies on a table that slides into the machine. The machine then takes multiple X-ray images from different angles as the table moves through the machine. • The images are then combined by a computer to create detailed 3D images of the inside of the body.

  5. What are the Benefits of a CT Scan? CT scans are a quick and noninvasive way to view the inside of the body. They are more detailed than regular X-rays and can detect even small abnormalities. CT scans can also detect tumors, bleeding, and other abnormalities that may not be visible on regular X-rays. • CT scans are also useful for diagnosing and treating many medical conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

  6. Are There Any Risks Associated with CT Scans? • CT scans do involve exposure to radiation, which can increase the risk of cancer. However, the amount of radiation used in a CT scan is much lower than that used in regular X-rays. • CT scans can also cause allergic reactions in some people. It is important to talk to your doctor about any allergies or other medical conditions before having a CT scan.

  7. What is the Preparation for a CT Scan? • The preparation for a CT scan depends on the type of scan being done. Generally, the patient will be asked to remove any metal objects, such as jewelry or eyeglasses, and to wear a hospital gown. The patient may also be asked to drink a contrast material, which helps make the images clearer. • The patient should also inform the doctor of any allergies or other medical conditions before the scan.

  8. What Happens After a CT Scan? • After the scan, the patient may be asked to wait for a few minutes while the images are examined. The doctor will then discuss the results with the patient. The results of the scan may be available immediately or may take a few days. • The patient may also be asked to follow up with the doctor for further tests or treatment, depending on the results of the scan.
