Types of Computed Tomography Computed Tomography can be used to examine virtually all areas of the body. Below you can find more information about the anatomical regions that can be evaluated using CT.

CT of the Brain

This type of examination helps provide a comprehensive view of the brain, its membranes, skull bones, and blood vessels. It is used for traumatic brain injuries, suspected tumors, hemorrhagic strokes, and vascular abnormalities.

CT of the Paranasal Sinuses

CT is considered an essential method for confirming acute and chronic sinusitis. In addition to infectious inflammatory processes, it can detect tumors and traumatic injuries of the nose and surrounding structures.

CT of the Mediastinal Organs

Computed Tomography not only clearly visualizes the lungs, but also reveals abnormalities that may not be visible on fluorography. CT can assess blood vessels, the trachea, bronchi, and lymph nodes, including the detection of tumors.

CT of the Abdominal Organs

CT provides excellent visualization of many pathological conditions, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, tumors, cysts, and fluid collections. CT colonography with contrast is a modern and painless alternative to conventional colonoscopy.

CT of the Kidneys

Recommended when infections and inflammatory conditions such as pyelonephritis, cysts, tumors, or the consequences of trauma are suspected. However, contrast-enhanced CT is contraindicated in acute kidney failure.

CT of the Heart

Allows the detection of coronary artery disease without invasive procedures such as catheterization. The heart, coronary arteries, and major blood vessels are clearly visualized.

CT of the Spine

Determines not only the presence but also the extent of cartilage and bone damage, including fractures, hematomas, vertebral displacement, osteomyelitis, osteoporosis, arthritis, tumors, intervertebral hernias, spinal curvature, and osteochondrosis.

CT of the Pelvis

Used not only for diagnosing pelvic bone injuries, but also for gynecological and urological diseases, inflammatory processes, vascular pathology, and oncology.

CT of the Joints

CT can detect trauma, changes in the joint surface, degenerative disorders of bone and cartilage, and inflammatory processes. A special category is CT of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is useful not only for assessing injuries but also for planning dental implant placement.
