Learn More About CT Scans

What is a CT scan?
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a diagnostic medical imaging scan that uses specialised X-ray equipment and technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the inside of the body, achieving visualisation of internal organs, bones, tissues, and blood vessels.

How CT Scans Work
- Detailed Cross-Sectional Images: CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-ray technology to capture multiple images from different angles. The computer processes these images to create detailed cross-sectional views of the body’s internal structures. This allows radiologists to see organs, bones, blood vessels, and tissues with exceptional clarity.
- 3D Imaging Capabilities: Advanced CT technology provides detailed 3D images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in complex cases.
Advantages of CT Scans
- High Resolution: CT scans make detailed images that can show small problems like tumors, fractures, or changes in tissue density. The images are clear and can find even tiny issues. This level of detail is usually not possible with other imaging methods like regular X-rays.
- Speed and Efficiency: The speed of CT scans allows for quick imaging of large areas of the body. This is particularly beneficial in emergencies where time is critical. Rapid imaging combined with high accuracy helps in making timely and informed medical decisions.
- Versatility: CT scans can find many health problems in different body parts like the brain, chest, stomach, pelvis, and limbs. They are good at showing detailed pictures of tissues, which helps doctors in many medical fields.
Are CT Scans Safe?
At Apex Radiology, patient safety is our top priority. We understand that you may have concerns about the safety of CT scans, and we are here to provide you with the information you need to feel confident and informed about your healthcare choices.

Understanding Radiation Exposure
Minimal Exposure: CT scans do involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which is necessary to create detailed images of your body. However, the amount of radiation used in a CT scan is relatively low and carefully controlled. The benefits of obtaining precise diagnostic information often far outweigh the minimal risks associated with this exposure.

Advancements in Technology: Modern CT scanners are designed with advanced technology that minimizes radiation exposure while still providing high-quality images. At Lake Imaging, we use state-of-the-art equipment that adheres to stringent safety standards, ensuring that you receive the lowest possible dose of radiation.

Benefits vs. Risks

Diagnostic Accuracy: The detailed images produced by CT scans are invaluable in diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions, from fractures and infections to tumors and cardiovascular diseases. Accurate diagnosis leads to appropriate and timely treatment, improving overall patient outcomes.

Informed Decision-Making: By providing clear and precise images, CT scans empower healthcare providers to make informed decisions about your care. This can reduce the need for exploratory surgeries and other invasive procedures, ultimately benefiting your health and well-being.
