CT SCANNER

GE Lightspeed 16 Slice - CT Scanner

A CT scan, also called X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) and computerized axial tomography scan (CAT scan), makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting. CT scanning is useful to get a very detailed 3D image of certain parts of the body, such as soft tissues, the pelvis, blood vessels, the lungs, the brain, abdomen, and bones.

Enhanced image quality & spatial resolution giving clearer anatomical visualization.
Multi-angle/multiplanar reconstruction with sub-millimetric imaging.
Faster image acquisition in non-cooperative, agitated and pediatric patients.
The gold standard for trauma imaging – whole body scanning in 90 seconds.
A non-invasive alternative to angiography.

Orthopedics:

Fracture detection and the extent of dislocation best done on multislice CT.
3D reconstruction and Volume rendered (VR) images for exact anatomical visualization.
Evaluation before joint implants.

HRCT temporal bone for acute/chronic otitis media &mastoiditis.
HRCT paranasal sinuses for sinusitis, polyposis, masses, facial bone fractures, nasal bone fracture, etc.
CT orbits for orbital fractures, masses, foreign body, etc.

Angiography:

Cerebral angiography in stroke, infarcts, hemorrhage; to detect aneurysms and vasculitis
Carotid vessels angiography to look for plaques, occlusion/stenosis.
Thoracic and abdominal Aorta angiography for aneurysm, aortitis, dissection, atherosclerotic occlusion.
Pulmonaryangiographyfor pulmonary thromboembolism; AVMs.
Abdominal angiography for SMA, celiac axis, etc. to investigate hemoperitoneum or unexplained G.I bleed
Renal angiography for renal artery stenosis, FMD, etc.
Peripheral angiography of upper and lower limbs for the peripheral vascular disease to look for the site; the extent of disease and postoperative evaluation after stenting.

CT Guided Interventions:

CT guided FNAC and biopsy of different lesions – submillimetric accuracy of needle placement.
Aspiration and drainage of collections, abscess; body fluids.
Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN).
