CT Scan
About CT Scan
Overview
A CT (Computed Tomography) Scan is an advanced diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It plays a critical role in identifying internal injuries, bleeding, infections, tumours, fractures, and organ abnormalities—especially when rapid, accurate diagnosis is essential.
Workflow
CT scanning at Nano Hospitals follows a patient-focused, time-efficient workflow:
Step 1: Clinical Assessment
The treating doctor evaluates symptoms and determines the need for a CT scan.
Step 2: Scan Planning
The specific body area is identified, and contrast use (if required) is decided.
Step 3: Image Acquisition
The scan is performed within seconds while the patient lies comfortably on the scanning table.
Step 4: Image Processing & Review
Images are reconstructed instantly and reviewed by specialists to guide treatment.
Step 5: Clinical Decision-Making
Findings are integrated into the patient’s treatment plan—emergency intervention, surgery, ICU care, or medical management.
