Computed tomography (CT)

When is a CT scan recommended?
CT is used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:

• Neurological disorders – brain examination in cases of suspected stroke, tumors, or injuries.
• Lung and chest examination – detection of inflammation, tumors, or emphysema.
• Abdominal examinations – assessment of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines.
• Orthopedic examinations – analysis of fractures, degenerative changes, and joint injuries.
• Blood vessel examination (angiography) – detection of narrowing and aneurysms.

How to prepare for a CT examination?

• Most CT examinations do not require special preparation, but if contrast medium is used, it may be necessary to arrive fasting.
• If you are allergic to iodine or have kidney problems, be sure to inform the doctor before the examination.
• It is recommended to bring previous medical documentation to enable comparison of findings.

What to expect during a CT scan?
The examination is quick and painless, lasting from a few minutes to half an hour. The patient lies on a movable table that passes through the CT device, while the images are automatically taken. If contrast is used, a brief sensation of warmth may be felt in the body.
