Welcome to the CT Scan Department at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our advanced CT scanning technology allows us to provide high-quality imaging services to assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of various medical conditions. Our team of experienced radiologists and technologists are committed to delivering accurate and detailed CT scan results.
CT scan, also known as computed tomography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. CT scans provide valuable information about the structure and function of organs, tissues, and bones, helping healthcare providers make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans.
At Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of CT scanning services, including:
- Head and Brain CT: CT scans of the head and brain can help diagnose conditions such as brain tumors, hemorrhages, strokes, and skull fractures. They are also useful in evaluating sinus problems and certain neurological conditions.
- Chest CT: Chest CT scans are commonly used to examine the lungs and chest cavity, providing detailed images of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and surrounding structures. They help in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, detecting pulmonary embolism, and assessing various chest abnormalities.
- Abdominal and Pelvic CT: CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis are valuable in evaluating the organs within the abdominal cavity, such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines. They assist in diagnosing conditions like appendicitis, kidney stones, abdominal masses, and infections.
- Musculoskeletal CT: CT scans can provide detailed images of bones, joints, and soft tissues, helping diagnose fractures, joint abnormalities, tumors, and infections. They are often used for preoperative planning and evaluating complex fractures.
- Virtual Colonoscopy: CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy for detecting colon polyps and colorectal cancer. It uses CT imaging to create a virtual 3D view of the colon.
