CT Scan at RxDx Whitefield
This is a 16 Multislice (Multidetector) Computed Tomography machine that provides high-speed high-resolution 3D imaging. It’s enabled with low dose radiation versatile tech and can detect a wide variety of conditions. Non-invasive in nature, a CT scan can be recommended by a cardiologist or a vascular surgeon when the patient is suspected to have an aortic aneurysm or dissection, renovascular hypertension, mesenteric ischaemia, peripheral vascular disease, suspected cerebral aneurysm, cerebral vascular insufficiency, trauma, etc. CT scan is capable of detecting stenosis, blockage, aneurysm, thromboembolism (e.g., pulmonary). A CT urogram may be recommended by Urologists to detect kidney stones. The size and density of calculi can be measured to decide on lithotripsy. Neurological, abdominal, and thoracic CT scans are also recommended by doctors, depending on the system, organ, or condition suspected.
Need a CT scan?
CT Scans by Types
Computer Tomography (CT) Scans are advanced diagnostic procedures that combine a series of X-ray images taken in cross-sectional slices through the soft tissues, bones, and blood vessels inside your body. This scanning method is quick, painless, and provides the radiologist with high-quality images.
CT Angiography
This type of CT scan is used to visualize blood vessels and detect conditions like aneurysms or blockages.
CT Brain Scan
CT Pulmonary Angiogram
CT Abdomen and Pelvis Scan
This scan helps identify issues in the abdominal and pelvic regions, such as infections, cancers, or organ injuries.
CT Bone Scan
What is CECT?
Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) is an advanced imaging technique that involves the use of contrast materials to enhance the visibility of internal structures in CT scans. The contrast agent, usually iodine-based, is injected into the patient’s bloodstream, highlighting blood vessels, organs, and tissues to provide clearer and more detailed images. This enhanced clarity is crucial for diagnosing various conditions, such as tumours, infections, vascular diseases, and abnormalities in the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. CECT is particularly valuable in oncology for detecting and monitoring cancers, and in emergency medicine for rapid assessment of internal injuries and acute conditions.

CT Scan Angiography: The Key to Advanced Diagnostic Radiology
Also known as Angio CT Scan, CT Angiogram is an essential tool in modern diagnostic radiology. This includes specialised scans like CT Angio Brain, CT Pulmonary Angiogram, and CT Peripheral Angios. These scans are particularly valuable in emergency and acute care settings, helping detect internal injuries and bleeding, pinpoint causes of strokes, and identify acute abdominal conditions such as appendicitis and tumour growth.
CT Brain Angiography is vital for detecting brain aneurysms, while CT Pulmonary Angiograms are key in diagnosing pulmonary embolisms. CT scans are also crucial in monitoring cancer treatment progress. By leveraging these focused CT Angiography techniques, healthcare providers can achieve more accurate diagnoses, tailor treatments to individual needs, and significantly improve patient outcomes.
Key Benefits of CT Scan Angiography
- Emergency and Acute Care through swift detection of internal injuries and bleeding.
- Stroke Diagnosis by pinpointing the cause of strokes with precision.
- Identifying acute issues like appendicitis and tumor growth.
Assessing the progress of cancer treatments. - Detecting brain aneurysms with CT Brain Angio scans.
- Diagnosing pulmonary embolisms with CT Pulmonary Angiograms.
CT scans vs X-rays
Advantages of CT Scans:
Higher Resolution
Versatile Diagnostics & Detailed Information
While X-rays provide a two-dimensional image, CT scans produce three-dimensional cross-sectional views of the body. This comprehensive view is crucial for diagnosing complex conditions involving soft tissues, blood vessels, and bones.
Quick Procedure
Lower Radiation Exposure
Common Contraindications
Pregnancy
Pregnant women will be advised to undergo CT scans only if necessary due to the potential risks associated with radiation exposure to the developing fetus. However, compared to other radiology techniques, the risk is relatively low and modern CT scanners use the minimum radiation necessary to obtain quality images in certain medical emergencies. The healthcare provider will determine how crucial the CT scan is for diagnosing life-threatening conditions such as pulmonary embolism, appendicitis, or trauma.
If you are planning a pregnancy and think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor / radiologist / CT scan tech.
Allergic Reaction to Contrast Dye
Remember!
CT scans provide high-resolution, detailed images that aid in studying complex medical conditions. By leveraging CT scans’ advantages, healthcare providers can ensure better patient outcomes through more accurate and comprehensive diagnostic information. Talk to your radiologist/technician/Doctor about pregnancy and contrast dye allergies before you undergo a CT scan.
What involves the CT scan process?
- CT scans are usually performed at a hospital or imaging centre.
- You may be instructed not to eat or drink for a few hours before the procedure.
- During the procedure, you will be asked to wear the hospital gown and remove any metal objects such as jewellery.
- The procedure will require you to lie on a table inside a large, doughnut-shaped CT machine.
- As the table slowly moves inside the scanning machine multiple X-rays rotate around your body, you may hear a whirring or buzzing noise.
- You will be instructed to refrain from making any movement as it can blur the image. You may need to hold your breath at times.
- The duration of the scan depends on the part of the body being scanned. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a half-hour. In most cases, you’ll go home the same day.
