Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed Tomography is an advanced imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain multi-slice and detailed images of different regions of the body. With CT, organs, bone structures, blood vessels, and soft tissues can be examined in three dimensions. Thanks to its rapid scanning feature, CT contributes significantly to diagnosis, especially in emergencies.

IN WHICH DISEASES IS IT USED?

CT can be used for almost every region of the body. It provides important information especially in post-trauma evaluation of organs and bones, tumor and mass investigations, vascular diseases, and examinations of the lungs and heart.

Main areas that can be evaluated with CT include:

• Brain hemorrhages, tumors, vascular occlusions

• Face, jaw, and sinus pathologies

• Neck, thyroid, and pharyngeal evaluations

• Detailed evaluation of lung and bronchial structures

• Heart and large vessel imaging (CT angiography)

• Abdominal organ diseases (liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen)

• Musculoskeletal system and joint injuries

• Post-trauma internal organ bleeding and fractures

• Whole-body scans and oncological evaluations

With advanced CT devices, fast and safe examinations can be performed with low-dose radiation.
