CT Scan

Computed Tomography (CT) scans are advanced imaging tests that provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures. At Revere Health, our radiology department utilizes state-of-the-art CT technology to help diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions, from injuries to complex diseases. CT scans are invaluable tools for healthcare providers, offering precise, high-quality images that aid in early detection and treatment planning.

How CT Scans Work
CT scans use a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce multiple images, or slices, of the inside of the body. During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that moves through a circular opening, where the scanner takes X-ray images from different angles. These images are then combined to create a detailed picture of the area being examined. This process is especially useful for visualizing bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues, making it a versatile diagnostic tool.

What to Expect During a CT Scan
CT scans are typically quick, painless, and noninvasive. Depending on the type of scan, you may need to refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours before your appointment. Some scans require a contrast dye, which may be given orally or through an IV to enhance image clarity. Our radiologists and technicians ensure a comfortable experience by providing clear instructions and answering any questions you may have.

Common Uses of CT Scans
CT scans are used to diagnose and evaluate a wide range of conditions, including:

Injuries: Detecting fractures, internal bleeding, and damage to soft tissues or organs.
Cancer: Identifying tumors, determining their size and location, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
Heart Disease: Assessing blood vessel blockages, evaluating heart structures, and detecting aneurysms.
Neurological Conditions: Imaging the brain to identify strokes, hemorrhages, and other neurological disorders.
Abdominal Issues: Diagnosing conditions such as kidney stones, appendicitis, or liver disease.
