CTScan Bones

Description

A CT scan is used to obtain detailed images of the internal body for investigative and diagnostic purposes. It helps identify bone and joint disorders and fractures. It can also diagnose tumours and internal bleeding that may lead to blood clots, heart, liver disease, or brain dysfunction. CT scans of the bones can provide more detailed information about the bone tissue and bone structure than standard X-rays of the bone, thus providing more information related to injuries and/or diseases of the bone. CT scans help diagnose medical conditions including broken bones, cancers, internal bleeding, or signs of heart disease. CT scanning is painless, noninvasive, and accurate. A major advantage of CT is its ability to image bone, soft tissue, and blood vessels all at the same time. Unlike conventional x-rays, CT scanning provides very detailed images of many types of tissue as well as the lungs, bones, and blood vessels.
