CT scanning is an imaging technique that provides detailed, high-resolution views of the body’s internal structures. At the CT scanning department at Hospital Angeles, every scan is performed using standardized protocols and under medical supervision to ensure accuracy and safety. With this technology and expertise, we obtain reliable images that enable timely diagnoses and sound clinical decisions, always prioritizing the patient’s comfort and well-being.
A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. It is used to detect and diagnose various diseases and medical conditions.
During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that slides into a ring-shaped scanner. The scanner takes multiple X-ray images from different angles. The procedure usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes.
Yes, a CT scan is a safe procedure. However, because it uses ionizing radiation, there is a small risk of radiation exposure. The benefits of a CT scan generally outweigh the associated risks.
In some cases, the patient may need to fast—that is, refrain from eating or drinking—for a certain period of time before the exam. It is also important to inform the doctor of any allergies or pre-existing conditions before undergoing a CT scan.
CT scans provide more detailed and accurate images than other imaging methods, allowing doctors to detect and diagnose diseases with greater precision. In addition, CT scans are less invasive than some surgical procedures and can eliminate the need for additional tests.
