CT Scan

By means of this cutting-edge imaging technique, we seek to provide a clearer route to well-being by demystifying health-related issues.

What are the indications of a CT Scan?

Computed tomography scans, or CT scans, are incredibly useful diagnostic instruments that are essential for evaluating a wide range of illnesses. Whether or not to propose a CT scan depends on the particular signs that a patient's health status presents. The following are typical situations where a CT scan might be necessary:

• Injuries and Trauma
• Doubting tumours or unusual growth
• Bone and Joint Disorders
• Identifying orthopedic diseases such as arthritis and fractures.
• Examining blood vessels for problems that could affect blood flow
• Internal Organ Evaluation
• Infections or Inflammation
• Assessment of the brain and spinal cord to diagnose neurological disorders.
• Preoperative Planning

It's crucial to remember that medical experts decide whether to perform a CT scan depending on each patient's unique medical history and symptoms. Our goal at Surya Hospitals is to make sure that CT scans are only advised when they would help obtain precise diagnoses and individualized treatment plans.

What are the benefits of a CT Scan?

• CT scans provide precise images of organs, tissues, and bones, allowing our radiologists to discover anomalies, tumours, and other diseases. Infections, fractures, and other diseases can be diagnosed with excellent accuracy.
• CT scans are a versatile imaging modality since they may be used to evaluate numerous regions of the body, including the head, chest, belly, pelvis, and extremities.
• CT scans are relatively quick compared to other imaging procedures, reducing patient discomfort and the need for multiple imaging sessions.
• CT scans are non-invasive, which means they do not require any surgical incisions. The patient instead lies on a surface that glides through the scanner, taking photos from various perspectives.
• CT scans are painless, and most patients have no discomfort during the process.
• Our CT scanners use low-dose radiation, which ensures patient safety while retaining outstanding image quality. Our radiology team is cautious about minimizing radiation exposure, especially in vulnerable populations.

Preparation

The procedure of getting ready for a CT scan is simple, and at Surya Hospitals, we want to make it go as smoothly as possible for your comfort. This short guide will help you get ready for your next CT scan:

• Information and Consultation: You might meet with your healthcare practitioner before your CT scan. This is your chance to talk about any current medical issues, allergies, or worries you may have. Also, the directions your provider gives you will be customized to meet your needs.
• Clothes and Comfort: Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing free of metal buttons or zippers as these can obstruct the imaging process. For the scan, you might be required to change into a hospital gown.
• Contrast material (if required): You can employ contrast material, which is a specific dye, to make some tissues or blood vessels more visible. Your healthcare professional will give you detailed instructions, including whether you need to fast before the procedure, and whether contrast is needed.
• Metal and Individual Things: Take off all metal items, including hairpins, watches, and jewellery, as these may obstruct the CT scan. Valuables should be left at home or with a partner while the treatment is being done.
• Let the technologist know: Share with the CT technologist any allergies you may have, current medications you are taking, or pre-existing medical issues. This guarantees a customized and safe experience.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is important to let the CT technologist and your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or nursing, since they may need to take extra measures.
• Carefully Follow Any Instructions: It's important to follow any instructions that your healthcare provider may have given you. If contrast material is employed, this can entail dietary limitations like fasting.
• Our committed staff at Surya Hospitals is here to help you at every stage of your CT scan experience, making sure you feel informed and supported. Our top priorities are your comfort and well-being, and you can help ensure a seamless and productive CT scan experience by adhering to these easy preparation procedures.

Procedure

With your comfort and well-being in mind, Surya Hospitals' CT Scan technique offers a quick, painless, and effective way to obtain diagnostic imaging. What to anticipate normally during a CT scan is as follows:

• Arrival and Check-In: Our helpful staff will assist you with the check-in procedure when you arrive. For a smooth experience, please prepare your identification and any pertinent medical records.
• Changing into a Gown (if Needed): You could be requested to change into a hospital gown while the region is being scanned. This guarantees that clothing won't obstruct the imaging procedure.
• Positioning on the CT Table: Our technologist will place you on a  CT table. Lying still is crucial for the process of acquiring clear pictures.
• Securing in position: To guarantee that the targeted area stays still for the best imaging results, you might need to be strapped in position for certain scans.
• Contrast Material (if Needed): Depending on the precise instructions given by your healthcare team, contrast material may be given intravenously, orally, or by other methods if your CT scan calls for it.
• CT Scanner procedure: As it rotates around you, a sizable ring-shaped device called a CT scanner takes X-ray pictures. The technician will keep in touch with you during the procedure to make sure you're comfortable, and it's painless.
• Observing and Monitoring: From a nearby room, the technician will keep an eye on the process. An intercom system will be used to maintain communication, enabling you to convey any unease or worries.
• Completion and Recovery: You will receive assistance exiting the CT scanner after the imaging is finished. You could be asked to wait for a brief period to be observed if contrast material was utilized. You can then go back to your regular activities unless instructed otherwise.
