CT Scan

CT scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses an x-ray to take images from different angles. It helps in the diagnosis of disease by allowing the doctor to visualize almost all parts of the body. It also assists in planning surgical, medical, and radiation treatments.

Our offerings

  • CT Contrast Studies: CT contrast studies use contrast material or special dyes that highlight the area under examination. The contrast material is delivered through injection, mouth, or enema.
  • CT Angiography of Any Body Part, Including CT Coronary Angiography: This technique allows doctors to detect the blockage in the arteries. When this technique is used for diagnosing coronary artery (arteries supplying blood to the heart) blockage, it is known as CT coronary angiography.
  • CT Transluminal Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Protocol: CT scan assists the surgeon in planning the TAVR. It helps in assessing the aortic valve to select the correct valve size for implantation.
  • CT Cisternography: It is a technique for visualizing the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid compartments. It helps diagnose CSF leaks in the skull base and assists the surgeon in planning radiotherapy or neurosurgery.
  • CT Guided Biopsies /Aspirations: CT scan also helps in the precise and accurate removal of the tissue sample to examine it for cancer cells.
  • CT Virtual Bronchoscopy: This novel technique allows pulmonologists to visualize the tracheal lumen and wall and the initial part of the bronchial tree.
  • CT Virtual Colonoscopy: CT virtual colonoscopy is used to diagnose large intestine cancer. During a virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan produces several images of the abdominal organs and combines them to provide a detailed inside view.
  • CT Enterography: CT enterography creates detailed images of the abdominal and pelvic organs using contrast material (delivered through ingestion) and special x-ray equipment.
  • CT Brain Perfusion: CT perfusion imaging provides valuable information about blood flow in different brain parts. It is used for diagnosing stroke, brain tumors, and brain blood vessel disease.
  • CT Triphasic Liver Study: The study involves three phases, i.e., the late arterial phase, the portal venous phase, and the third delayed phase acquisition. The study evaluates endocrine tumors, liver metastases, and liver lesions.
  • CT Urography: With CT urography, the doctor evaluates the organs of the urinary tract, i.e., kidney, ureter, bladder, and urethra. It helps diagnose bladder and kidney stones, cancer, and complicated infections.
