What is a CT Scan?
A CT scan, or computerized tomography scan, uses X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. These images offer a clear view of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues, helping physicians evaluate a wide range of medical conditions.
This type of diagnostic imaging is often compared to slicing a loaf of bread—each “slice” provides a thin image that, when combined, offers a full and detailed picture of the area being studied. A full-body CT scan can be particularly helpful for identifying hidden conditions or assessing the extent of an existing issue.
Conditions a CT Scan Can Help Diagnose
CT scans are used to evaluate many health concerns, including:
- Brain injuries or tumors
- Cancers and metastatic diseases
- Blood vessel abnormalities and aneurysms
- Spine and joint recovery after surgery
- Bone injuries and fractures
These scans support both early detection and ongoing care planning, offering valuable insight into your overall health.
What to Expect During Your CT Scan
Our staff will explain all the preparation steps before your appointment. You may be asked to avoid food or drink for a certain time. Comfortable clothing is recommended, though you may be asked to change into a gown. All metal objects, such as jewelry, should be removed before the scan begins.
During the procedure, you will lie on a table that slowly moves through a donut-shaped scanner. The machine will rotate to capture a series of images. You may be asked to briefly hold your breath during the scan to help produce clearer images. Some patients experience a mild warming sensation or feel the urge to urinate during the scan—both are common and temporary.
After the scan, you can return to normal activities unless otherwise advised by your physician.
