By analyzing the data from the X-ray images using a computer, CT scans can provide high-resolution images that allow for the analysis of organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. CT scans are widely used in medical imaging technology and can be used to diagnose various conditions such as infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, tumors, and cancer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;15&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1685435772314{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][fr_heading text=&#8221;CT Scan \u2013<br \/>\nSOMATOM Drive&#8221; tag=&#8221;h2&#8243; text_color=&#8221;#2bbfd9&#8243; description_color=&#8221;#4c4c4c&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4359&#8243; img_size=&#8221;800X500&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][fr_heading text=&#8221;CT Scan \u2013<br \/>\nGE 256 Slice Revolution CT ES&#8221; tag=&#8221;h2&#8243; text_color=&#8221;#2bbfd9&#8243; description_color=&#8221;#4c4c4c&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4360&#8243; img_size=&#8221;800X500&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1685435778171{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion active_section=&#8221;1&#8243; style=&#8221;renovation&#8221;][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-heartbeat&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Things to know before CT scanning&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1688637358951-efc60a8d-85fd&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4-hour fasting (applicable to patients undergoing abdominal computer scan)<\/li>\n<li>Oral contrast may be given to aid in diagnosis (for patients undergoing abdominal computerized scans)<\/li>\n<li>Please remove any metal objects such as watches and jewelry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-heartbeat&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Instructions for CT scan inspection&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1688637426973-ebf7f163-1bf0&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Need to lie on the examination table, the radiologist will assist the patient to adjust the posture<\/li>\n<li>The table will move and enter the computer scanner to start the filming<\/li>\n<li>Please stay still during the computerized scan and follow the breathing instructions given by the radiologist<\/li>\n<li>Individual inspection items require injection of intravenous contrast agent<\/li>\n<li>After injecting the contrast agent, you may feel warm, nausea, etc. This is a normal reaction and the feeling will dissipate within a few minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-heartbeat&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Precautions for CT scanning&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1688637449963-238b6547-559a&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are pregnant or suspected to be pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform the medical staff of the center.<\/li>\n<li>Please inform the medical staff of the center if you have any allergies (ever allergic to contrast), asthma, eczema, diabetes or long-term illness.<\/li>\n<li>If you have any questions, please consult with the medical staff of our center before the examination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row gap=&#8221;15&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1685435765938{margin-top: -50px !important;margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: -50px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4277&#8243; img_size=&#8221;900X600&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][fr_heading text=&#8221;CT Scan&#8221; tag=&#8221;h2&#8243; text_color=&#8221;#2bbfd9&#8243; description_color=&#8221;#4c4c4c&#8221;][vc_column_text]Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body&#8217;s internal structures.
