CT Scan

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan is an advanced imaging technology that offers an unparalleled medical diagnosis of various conditions. CT Scan is produced using specialized x-ray equipment, which will rotate around your body to take detailed cross-sectional images of your body from different angles.

The technology is non-invasive and precise, offering a complete 3D visual representation of a patient’s body in minutes. The CT Scan offers multiple angles and dimensions to view organs, allowing for efficient diagnosis. This technology provides an accurate diagnosis quickly, making it one of the most reliable diagnostic imaging technologies today. CT Scan examination time may vary from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the body’s part being scanned.
