CT SCAN 32 SLICE

The CT Scans are Whole Body CT Scanners with fast scanning speed, low dose, and excellent image quality providing the whole range of CT applications. Multislice CT scanning could be a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. MSCT provide amazing pictures of the build including 3D images for accurate diagnosis.

Using specialized equipment and expertise to make and interpret CT scans of the body, radiologists can more easily diagnose problems like cancers, upset, disease, appendicitis, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders. CT scan is additionally helpful for the following

• one amongst the best and fastest tools for studying the chest, abdomen and pelvis because it provides detailed, cross-sectional views of each reasonably tissue.
• Invaluable in diagnosing and treating spinal problems and injuries to the hands, feet and other skeletal structures because it can clearly show even very small bones further as surrounding tissues like muscle and blood vessels.

Preparation for Multislice CT Scan.

• you must wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your exam. you will be a gown to wear during the procedure.
• you will be asked to not eat or drink anything for several hours beforehand, especially if a contrast medium are employed in your exam.
• you must inform your physician of any medications you're taking and if you've got any allergies. Also inform your doctor of any recent illnesses or other medical conditions, and if you've got a history of heart condition, asthma, diabetes, nephrosis or thyroid problems.
• Women should inform their physician and also the CT technologist if there's any possibility that they're pregnant.

ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to provide pictures of the within of the body. It helps diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection within the body's internal organs and to look at an unborn child (fetus) in pregnant women. In infants, doctors commonly use ultrasound to judge the brain, hips, and spine. . It also helps guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damage after a coronary failure. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and doesn't use radiation. This procedure requires little to no special preparation. Your doctor will tell you the way to organize, including whether you ought to not eat or drink beforehand. Leave jewelry reception and wear loose, comfortable clothing. you will have to transform a gown Advancements in ultrasound technology include three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound that formats the undulation data into 3-D images. A Doppler ultrasound study could also be a part of an ultrasound examination.

It allows the doctor to determine and evaluate blood flow through arteries and veins within the body.

There are three varieties of Doppler ultrasound:

Color Doppler uses a computer to convert Doppler measurements into an array of colours to indicate the speed and direction of blood flow through a vessel. Power Doppler could be a newer technique that's more sensitive than color Doppler and capable of providing greater detail of blood flow, especially when blood flow is no or minimal. Power Doppler, however, doesn't help the radiologist determine the direction of blood flow, which can be important in some situations. Spectral Doppler displays blood flow measurements graphically, in terms of the gap traveled per unit of your time, instead of as a color picture. It can even convert blood flow information into a particular sound which will be heard with every heartbeat.

Doctors use ultrasound to evaluate:

pain

swelling

infection

Ultrasound is a useful way of examining many of the body's internal organs, including but not limited to the:

heart and blood vessels, including the abdominal aorta and its major branches

liver

gallbladder

spleen

pancreas

kidneys

bladder

uterus, ovaries, and unborn child (fetus) in pregnant patients

eyes

thyroid and parathyroid glands

scrotum (testicles)

brain in infants

hips in infants

spine in infants

Ultrasound is additionally used to:

guide procedures like needle biopsies, within which needles remove cells from an abnormal area for laboratory testing. image the breasts and guide biopsy of carcinoma (see the Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy page. diagnose a spread of heart conditions, including valve problems and congestive coronary failure, and to assess damage after a heart failure. Ultrasound of the center is often called an "echocardiogram" or "echo" for brief.

Doppler ultrasound helps the doctor to work out and evaluate:

blockages to blood flow (such as clots)

narrowing of vessels

tumors and congenital vascular malformations

reduced or absent blood flow to numerous organs, like the testes or ovary

increased blood flow, which can be an indication of infection

With knowledge about the speed and volume of blood flow gained from a Doppler ultrasound image, the doctor can often determine whether a patient may be a good candidate for a procedure like angioplasty.
