Ct Scan
Ct Scan
Brain Plain
A brain plain is a type of computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain that doesn't use contrast. Before a brain plain, you should tell your doctor about any medications you're taking, allergies, or if you're pregnant. You should also remove any metal objects, like jewelry or glasses, and wear comfortable clothing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions before the scan, so be sure to follow them closely.
Brain plain + Contrast
Brain CT scans may be done with or without "contrast." Contrast refers to a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly. Contrast examinations may require you to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure.
Neck
The neck can be envisioned very simply as a pathway (or connection) between the head and the rest of the body. It is home to the proximal esophagus, trachea, thyroid gland, and the parathyroid glands.
PNS - Full
PNS can stand for peripheral nervous system, which is a network of nerves that runs throughout the head, neck, and body, outside of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS plays a key role in sending information from different areas of the body back to the brain, as well as carrying out commands from the brain to various parts of the body.
PNS - Limited
Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of two main parts of your body’s nervous system. Your PNS feeds information into your brain from most of your senses. It carries signals that allow you to move your muscles.
Orbit
An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite.
HRCT Thorax
HRCT (high-resolution computed tomography) of the thorax, or HRCT chest, is a type of CT scan that uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the inside of your chest and lungs.
CT Thorax
A CT thorax, or computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, is an imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of the chest and upper abdomen.
Abdomen
The abdomen (colloquially called the belly, tummy, midriff, tucky or stomach) is the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates.
Pelvis
The pelvis consists of the right and left hip bones, each formed by the union of the pubis, ischium, and ilium bones, together with the midline sacrum and coccyx.
Abdomen and Pelvis
The abdomen is the anterior region of the trunk between the thoracic diaphragm and the pelvic brim. It contains many of the visceral organs, especially those involved in digestion, such as the stomach, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and intestines.
Abdomen Triphasic Liver
A triphasic liver is a type of liver that appears in three different phases on medical imaging scans, such as CT or MRI.
(Arterial + Venous + Delayed)
In computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), arterial, venous, and delayed phases are different phases of contrast-enhanced imaging that can provide different information about the body:
CT Guided Biopsy
A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a CT scan to guide a needle to remove a tissue sample from an abnormal area in the body.
