What is a Multi Slice CT Scan?

CT scan is a type of imaging diagnosis technology. CT scan uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of the body. These images can help doctors diagnose and monitor a range of health conditions.

The ‘multi-slice’ part refers to the scanner’s ability to capture multiple images at once. This makes the process faster and more detailed than traditional CT scans.With multi-slice technology, the scanner captures multiple slices simultaneously. This advancement reduces scan times and increases image precision. It also allows for 3D reconstructions, providing doctors with clearer insights.

Computers then compile these images into a single, detailed picture. It is a non-invasive and commonly used procedure.

Uses of CT Scan

A CT scan helps to get a closer look at your bones. It also examines your organs, soft tissues, blood vessels, and any suspicious masses. Things a CT scan can detect include:

•  Certain types of cancer and benign (noncancerous) tumors
•  Fracture (broken bones)
•  Heart disease
•  Blood clot
•  Bowel disorders (obstruction, Crohn’s disease)
•  Disease or injury to the brain and spinal cord
•  Internal bleeding
•  Diagnosing a wide range of diseases and disorders, such as cancer
•  Helping to identify the location of the cancer, its proximity to nearby organs, and its size
•  Helping to determine how treatment is working
•  Conducting follow-up examinations after treatment

What CT scan procedures do we offer

CT scans come in many forms to examine specific areas of the body. For example, an abdominal CT scan identifies digestive problems and abdominal problems such as inflammation or tumors.

In other hand, brain CT scan detects bleeding, stroke, or brain tumors. A lung CT scan evaluates lung diseases such as cancer or lung infections.

We offer all kind of of CT scan procedures in Dubai including below:

1. CT Angiography

CT angiogram is an imaging procedure that uses X-rays and contrast material to examine the arteries and veins. In this procedure, contrast material is injected into the veins to produce more detailed images of the body’s blood vessels.

This test helps doctors identify blockages, clots, and vascular diseases such as aneurysms and damaged arteries. CT angiography is widely used to evaluate cardiovascular problems. It is indicated for patients suspected of having heart or vascular disease.

2. CT colonography

CT colonography, or CT colonography, uses cross-sectional images of the colon (large intestine). It helps detect problems such as polyps, tumors, and colon cancer.

This procedure is similar to a regular colonoscopy but is non-invasive and does not require inserting instruments into the colon. CT colonography is especially useful for people over 50 and those who cannot have a colonoscopy due to physical problems.

3. Heart CT scan

A heart CT scan   uses  safe doses of X-rays to produce three-dimensional images of  the heart and its  blood vessels. This fast, yet precise , high-resolution  scan  shows structural problems in the heart valves arteries , aorta and more. During the test, a specialized dye is usually injected into your bloodstream to enhance the quality of the images.

There are two different types of  heart CT scans :

• Coronary CT angiography ( if the test will be done with contrast )
• Cardiac Calcium Score test ( this scan will be done without contrast for evaluation of calcium score in arteries )

4. Isotopic CT scan

Isotope CT is used to examine the bones in detail. This type of CT scan helps to check for infections in the bones. Most specialists use this CT scan to check for the presence of tumors in the bones.

CT scans can show a variety of problems, including tumors, hemorrhages, fractures, kidney stones, and vascular problems.

5. CT scan urography
