A cardiac calcium scoring CT scan is a quick, non-contrast scan that measures the amount of calcified plaque in your heart's arteries. It helps assess your risk of developing a future heart attack.
Everything patients commonly ask about CT scans — what to expect, how long it takes, and whether it's safe.
A CT Abdomen scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the abdominal organs including the liver, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, intestines, and blood vessels.
A CT Abdomen & Pelvis scan is a combined imaging study that examines your abdomen and pelvis in a single session. This allows doctors to see everything from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor, making it a very useful tool for diagnosing pain, infection, trauma, tumors, and other conditions that may involve multiple regions.
A CT aortogram is a specialized scan that uses X-rays and contrast dye to create detailed images of your aorta. It helps detect dangerous conditions like aortic aneurysms or tears (dissections).
A CT Brain scan is one of the most commonly performed neuroimaging procedures in Radiology. It uses X-rays and computer processing to create highly detailed images of the brain and skull.
A CT Brain Angiography (CTA Brain) creates detailed maps of the blood vessels inside your head. It uses X-rays and computer processing to capture clear, 3D images of your cerebral circulation.
A CT Cardiac scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and advanced computer processing to create detailed pictures of the heart.
A CT Chest scan is an imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the lungs, heart, airways, blood vessels, and chest wall.
A CT Colonoscopy, also known as Virtual Colonoscopy, is a special type of CT scan used to examine the large intestine (colon and rectum). It uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed 3D images of the inside of the bowel.
A CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is a special type of CT scan that focuses on the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. Using X-rays and contrast dye, CTCA produces detailed pictures that help doctors detect narrowing, blockages, and calcium buildup.
A CT Craniofacial scan captures clear, 3D-like images of the bones in your face and skull. It is a critical tool for mapping out the intricate bones of the cheeks, jaw, and eye sockets.
