CT SCAN OF COMPLETE SPINE

Hypro Diagnostics offers an advanced CT scan of the entire spine, utilizing state-of-the-art computer technology and X-rays to produce intricate cross-sectional images of the spinal cord. This non-invasive diagnostic test delivers comprehensive insights into bones, muscles, fat, and organs, surpassing the resolution of conventional X-rays. Before the scan, it’s recommended to wear comfortable attire, and the removal of metallic items is necessary to ensure optimal imaging quality. Depending on the facility’s procedure, a change into a hospital gown might be required. Patients typically adhere to their regular diet and medication routine unless advised otherwise by their physician. Fasting may be necessary in specific instances, particularly if contrast dye is involved. Communication of allergies, medical history, and potential pregnancy is essential for a safe procedure. During the scan, patients lie on a table that smoothly slides into the circular opening of the scanning machine. As the scanner rotates, brief X-ray exposures capture data, converted by a computer into detailed images for interpretation by a skilled radiologist. Maintaining stillness and following instructions, including holding one’s breath at designated moments, is crucial for accurate imaging. The administration of contrast medium may result in minor side effects like nausea or a metallic taste. It’s a meticulous process requiring precision and patient cooperation.
