What is a CT Scan?
A CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) is a specialized medical imaging technique that combines X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures. Unlike a regular X-ray, which provides a flat image, a CT scan creates multiple images (slices) that can be assembled to form a 3D view of organs, bones, blood vessels, and tissues.
Purpose of a CT Scan
CT scans are widely used in medical diagnostics due to their speed, accuracy, and detail. Here are the main purposes:
- Diagnosing Conditions
- Detect tumors, infections, blood clots, or internal injuries
- Identify causes of unexplained pain or symptoms
- Monitor the progression of diseases (e.g., cancer)

Frequently Asked Questions
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures, including bones, organs, and blood vessels.
It helps:
Diagnose injuries, tumors, infections, or internal bleeding
Detect brain strokes, lung diseases, abdominal issues
Guide biopsies and surgical planning
Monitor treatment progress (e.g., in cancer)
Yes, CT scans are generally safe. While they use a small amount of radiation, modern CT machines minimize exposure. The benefits usually outweigh the risks.
For plain CT scans, fasting is usually not needed.
For contrast-enhanced CT scans, you may need to fast for 4–6 hours. Follow your doctor’s or lab’s instructions.
A contrast CT uses a special dye (usually iodine-based) injected through a vein to highlight blood vessels, organs, or abnormal tissues for better clarity in the scan.
Yes, contrast agents are generally safe. Mild side effects like a warm sensation or metallic taste may occur. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems or iodine allergies.
A CT scan usually takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being scanned. Preparation time may add a few extra minutes.
CT can scan:
Brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis
Spine, joints, bones
Lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas
Blood vessels (CT angiography)
CT scans are usually avoided during pregnancy, especially in the abdomen or pelvis, due to radiation exposure. Ultrasound or MRI is preferred unless absolutely necessary.
Reports are typically available within 24 hours. Urgent cases may be prioritized for faster reporting.
