Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses specialized X-ray equipment to create detailed cross-sectional images, or “slices,” of the body. These images provide valuable information about the internal structures of organs, tissues, and bones. CT scans are essential for diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions, including injuries, tumors, infections, and abnormalities. The technologist administers contrast media and medications to enhance the visualization of specific organs, providing detailed information during the imaging process. This technology allows healthcare professionals to obtain highly detailed and precise images, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. CT scan images are utilized to generate 3D imaging and facilitate AI-generated measurements for preoperative surgical planning. This dynamic modality is also instrumental in advanced technologies, enabling interventional procedures that treat patients without the need for traditional surgery.
