CT scan
In computed tomography (CT), X-rays rotate around the patient to create transverse sections of the body. A CT examination usually provides more information than an X-ray because CT does not involve superimposition or overlapping of organs or lesions. The technique can be used for many indications. It is mainly used for neurological (central or peripheral) and oncological disorders (total body scan for detection of lung metastases, among others), chronic nasal disorders, orthopedic disorders as well as respiratory, cardiovascular and abdominal disorders.
The examination takes about 20 minutes. The scanning itself takes only a few seconds. Short-term general anesthesia or heavy sedation is the rule, given the rapid progress of the examination.
