Preparation and conduct of computed tomography

Computed tomography (CT) is an effective and modern diagnostic method that allows you to find out important information about the state of internal organs and systems of the body by layer-by-layer scanning of a certain area with X-rays. In simple words, the essence of CT can be explained as “powerful and very accurate multi-X-ray”. CT allows you to study the object in detail from all sides, literally every millimeter. Computed tomography scanners differ in class and power, which is directly reflected in the speed of providing diagnostic services.

At the HBMedical medical diagnostic center, examinations are performed on a modern SIEMENS SOMATOM go.Up 32 slices (64 with IVR technology) device, released in 2021.

CT diagnostics is a painless and low-harm method of examination. It allows doctors to effectively assess diseases, their development and consequences. Having confirmed information, the specialist adjusts the treatment in the most effective way.

When is CT performed:

• diseases and injuries of the back: thoracic and cervical spine, lumbar spine;
• brain examination;
• oncology;
• injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system: fractures, dislocations, joint pathologies;
• diseases of the digestive system: intestines, stomach, pancreas and others;

Additional contraindications exist for contrast tomography:

• thyroid pathologies;
• diabetes mellitus;
• severe forms of renal failure;
• allergy, adverse reactions to any contrast component.

In such cases, the diagnostic strategy is determined individually, during consultation with a doctor.

Computed tomography provides:

• the most accurate diagnostics and volumetric images, which is impossible with two-dimensional diagnostics;
• maximum possible patient comfort during the procedure;
• absolute safety, achieved by low radiation exposure and high scanning speed;
• the maximum amount of information that allows you to determine the patient’s health status and make the correct diagnosis.

The research method is one of the most accessible and accurate, which makes it popular among patients of all age groups.

Types of CT at HBMedical

There are two popular CT methods:

• classical;
• CT with contrast – angiography.

The standard procedure involves the patient lying horizontally on a moving table-couch. At the beginning of the procedure, the body is placed at the starting point determined by the doctor and the equipment software. Gradually, with minimal steps, the patient is moved deeper into the scanner. X-ray emitters and sensors quickly rotate around the body. At this moment, the device records dozens of images – segments.

There is no special preparation for the computed tomography procedure. However, for CT with contrast, it is necessary to pass a creatinine test to exclude renal failure. When examining the hollow organs of the abdominal cavity, the consumption of coarse food should be limited, it is recommended to drink fluids immediately before the procedure. It is also necessary to check the presence or absence of an allergy to iodine. For a CT scan, the patient must have a referral from a doctor, which precisely indicates the areas that need to be examined to make an accurate diagnosis. During the procedure, a person does not feel any discomfort. The average duration of the diagnosis is up to 40 minutes. The description of the images is performed by a radiologist.
