A CT (Computed Tomography) Scan is an advanced diagnostic imaging tool used to produce detailed pictures of internal body structures. During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that slides into a large circular machine. The machine rotates around the body, capturing multiple X-ray images in thin slices. These slices are then compiled by a computer to form a complete 3D image of the targeted body part.
This technique is extremely helpful for detecting abnormalities, internal injuries, tumors, bone fractures, and other health conditions that may not be visible on a normal X-ray or ultrasound.
CT scans are commonly recommended to:
Doctors rely on us because of our advanced imaging equipment, certified radiologists and technicians, and a proven track record of precise diagnostics. Our reports are detailed, clear, and delivered promptly, helping physicians make timely and informed decisions for their patients’ treatment.
Patients choose us not just for our technology, but for the way we treat them — with warmth, respect, and attention. From a clean, hygienic environment to a team that genuinely cares, we make every visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.
No, a CT scan is completely non-invasive and does not cause any pain. The patient is required to lie still on a motorized table that moves through a large, donut-shaped scanner. While the machine makes soft clicking or whirring sounds, there is no physical discomfort during the process. In some cases, if a contrast dye is used, a patient might feel a slight warming sensation when it is injected, but this is generally brief and harmless.
The duration of a CT scan can vary depending on the body part being scanned and whether a contrast dye is used. On average, most CT scans take between 5 to 15 minutes. For more complex scans or if multiple areas are being examined, it might take slightly longer. Despite the high level of detail, the actual scanning process is quite fast and efficient.
Fasting requirements depend on the type of CT scan being performed. For scans involving contrast dye, patients are usually instructed to avoid eating or drinking for 4 to 6 hours prior to the procedure. This helps to reduce the risk of complications like nausea and allows for clearer imaging. Always follow the instructions given by your radiologist or technician in advance of your appointment.
CT scans are generally very safe when performed responsibly. They do involve exposure to a small dose of ionizing radiation, but the levels are low and well within medically accepted safety limits. The benefits of obtaining accurate and timely diagnostic information often far outweigh the minimal risk involved. Pregnant women, however, should inform the radiology team in advance, as alternative imaging methods like ultrasound or MRI may be recommended.
