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:

Cancer detection – Locating tumors and assessing their size and spread.
