Computed tomography is one of the most modern methods of diagnosis based on X-rays exams.
The information obtained, through further computer development, creates a complete image of organ systems, allowing to distinguish between anatomical and physiological changes in organs.
With the help of computed tomography it is possible to discover pathological changes in the brain, chest and abdomen, retroperitoneum and pelvis, vessels, ENT organs, bones, joint, spine and others.
To increase the accuracy of diagnostics, in case of necessity, the CT procedure is conducted by using contrast agent.
CT diagnostic method is very effective for detection of benign and malignant tumors of various organs even the smallest sizes, to clarify their nature, prevalence, vascularisation etc.
There are no absolute contraindications for CT-scan procedure
The relative contraindications are mainly regardto the contrast agent:
- Allergic diseases (especially bronchial asthma);
- Allergic reaction to the iodine solution;
- Renal insufficiency
- Pregnancy
- Hyperthyroidism
Patient preparation for CT scan
For the head, neck, thorax CT scan usually there is no need for special preparation of the patient.For the CT scan of abdomen and small pelvis the preliminary preparation of the patient is necessary.
To increase the diagnostics accuracy of CT scan it could be necessary the intravenous injection of contrast agents.
