When is a CT Scan Recommended?

A CT scan may be advised when fast and detailed internal imaging is required for accurate diagnosis. Common indications include:

• Head injury or trauma
• Stroke and neurological emergencies
• Chest pain or suspected lung conditions
• Road traffic accidents and injury assessment
• Acute abdominal pain
• Suspected internal bleeding
• Infections, abscesses, or inflammatory conditions
• Tumours or abnormal growths
• Pre-operative and emergency evaluation

Round-the-clock availability allows CT scans to be performed immediately when clinical urgency demands.

What Conditions Can Be Evaluated Through a CT Scan?

CT imaging helps assess a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• Brain injuries, stroke, and intracranial bleeding
• Lung diseases such as infections, nodules, or clots
• Abdominal organ disorders involving the liver, kidney, pancreas, and intestines
• Bone fractures and complex skeletal injuries
• Vascular conditions and internal haemorrhage
• Tumours and cysts
• Post-surgical complications

Contrast-enhanced CT scans may be used when required to improve diagnostic accuracy.
