Understanding CT Scans

What is a CT scan and how does it produce detailed images of the body?
A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging procedure that combines many X-ray measurements taken from different angles using a computer to produce cross-sectional images, or virtual "slices," of specific areas, allowing detailed internal views without cutting.
How does Multi-Slice Spiral CT scanning enhance imaging and its clinical uses?
Multi-Slice Spiral CT scanning allows more than one spiral at a time, improving image accuracy and reducing scan time. It enables overlapping images for 2D and 3D reconstructions, useful for studying vascular structures, evaluating bones, internal organs, tumors, and monitoring response to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. CT angiography also allows noninvasive evaluation of arteries before and after surgery.
What other diagnostic and preventive uses does CT scanning offer?
CT scans are effective for diagnosing kidney stones, appendicitis, and pulmonary embolism. CT bone density testing measures bone density to manage osteoporosis risk. Other uses include scanning sinuses for sinusitis and chest screening for smokers, helping detect lung cancer at an early stage, similar to screening mammography. Continuous improvements in software and hardware enhance noninvasive evaluations.
