  1. Computed Tomography - A Detailed Overview

  2. Introduction: • Computed tomography (CT) scan, also known as CAT scan, is a diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the internal structures of the body • CT scan is a non-invasive and painless test that can help doctors diagnose and monitor various medical conditions • CT scan is a widely used diagnostic tool that provides high-resolution images with great accuracy and speed

  3. How CT Scan Works: • During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped scanner • The scanner emits a narrow beam of X-rays that pass through the body and are detected by detectors on the opposite side of the scanner • The detectors convert the X-rays into electrical signals that are processed by a computer program to create detailed images of the internal structures of the body

  4. Uses of CT Scan: • CT scan is used to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions, including cancers, heart disease, lung disease, bone and joint disorders, and neurological disorders • CT scan can detect tumors, infections, blood clots, fractures, and other abnormalities in the body • CT scan can also be used to guide minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies, needle aspirations, and catheter placements

  5. Risks and Precautions: • CT scan involves exposure to ionizing radiation, which can increase the risk of cancer over time • The amount of radiation exposure during a CT scan is relatively low, but repeated scans may increase the risk • Patients should inform their doctor if they are pregnant or have kidney problems, as the contrast dye used in some CT scans can harm the fetus or damage the kidneys
