Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray radiation and computer processing to create detailed images of internal organs and tissues.

When Is CT Most Commonly Prescribed?

CT can be used as a primary diagnostic method, meaning it is performed as the first examination, or as a follow-up study to уточнить findings obtained by other diagnostic methods. CT has high sensitivity and specificity, making it an extremely valuable tool in modern medicine.

• Tumors of various organs and systems
• Injuries and fractures
• Diseases of the abdominal organs
• Vascular pathology
• Neurological disorders

What Does CT Show?

CT produces cross-sectional images of the body, providing a three-dimensional view of internal organs, systems, and pathological changes.

CT makes it possible to assess the shape, size, and density of organs.

It also visualizes tumors, cysts, inflammatory processes, and many other pathological conditions.

When contrast enhancement is used (CT angiography), it is possible to build 3D models of blood vessels, including the arteries of the head and neck, the aorta, and other vascular structures.

Does CT Influence Treatment Decisions?

CT plays an important role in establishing a diagnosis and monitoring treatment outcomes.

CT allows the detection of tumors at early stages, enabling timely treatment and helping physicians determine the most appropriate scope and strategy of therapy based on imaging findings.
