CT SCAN OF HIP (RIGHT/ LEFT)

A 3D scan of the left hip joint involves capturing a series of digital images as the patient moves through a machine, offering more detailed information than traditional X-rays. This imaging method is valuable for diagnosing the cause of hip pain and obtaining precise presurgical measurements for specific hip conditions like osteoid osteoma or femoroacetabular impingement. Before undergoing this scan, informing your doctor about pregnancy or kidney issues is crucial. Additionally, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the dye used in the scan, leading to symptoms like irritation, vomiting, or nausea.
