Ct Scan

A CT scan is a medical procedure which allows physicians to better determine injuries or disorders in patients. A CT scan uses x-ray technology and computers to take several pictures of the inside of a patient's body. Pictures and images can be taken of a patient's organs, bones, muscles, and tissue. This allows doctors to quickly spot abnormalities or injuries such as trauma, breaks or fractures, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and much more. These are often used to determine the extent of injuries or diseases in order to find an appropriate treatment. This is typically an outpatient procedure, and there are risks associated with the procedure as well. As with x-rays, there is a risk of radiation exposure which is particularly threatening for pregnant or nursing mothers.

Fast Facts

  • A CT scan takes approximately thirty minutes from start to finish, depending upon what the physician is looking for.
  • A medical professional, typically a radiologist, interprets the images.
