What is a CT Scan?
A CT Scan (Computed Tomography scan) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of tissues, organs, and body structures. It allows us to visualize areas such as:
- internal organs
- bones
- muscles
- internal organs
- blood vessels
Utilizing advanced technology, a CT Scan provides more detailed images than a regular X-ray by capturing multiple angles and combining them into a 3D view.
How Do CT Scans Work?
- The patient lies on a motorized table that moves through a circular CT scanner.
- The scanner rotates around the body, taking multiple X-ray images from different angles.
- A computer processes these images to create detailed cross-sectional or 3D views of organs, bones, and tissues.
Uses of CT Scans:
Many doctors send their patients to Crown Imaging for CT Scans to help diagnose and monitor various medical conditions, including:
- Brain conditions – Detecting strokes, tumors, or brain injuries.
- Lung diseases – Identifying infections, pneumonia, or lung cancer.
- Bone and joint issues – Assessing fractures, arthritis, or spinal problems.
- Heart and blood vessels – Evaluating heart disease, blockages, or aneurysms.
- Cancer detection – Locating tumors and assessing their size and spread.
- Trauma and internal injuries – Diagnosing internal bleeding or organ damage.
