Introduction
A computed tomography (CT) scan is a test your
doctor may utilize to view the problem within
your body, plan your surgery, or to check how
well a treatment is reacting for you. It employes
powerful X-rays, a type of radiation, to make
comprehensive pictures of the inside of your body.

How Does a CT Scan Work?
A CT scan machine consists of a bed, a gantry,
and an X-ray tube. You lie down on the bed that
moves through the gantry. During the process, the
X-ray tube will rotate around you, shooting
narrow beams of X-ray through your body. A CT
scan machine uses specialised digital X-ray
detectors, located opposite the X-ray source.
Once the digital X-ray detectors capture the
data, it is transmitted to a high-powered
computer connected to the machine. It helps
visualise the image captured by the X-ray.

What Is the Use of Contrast in CT Scan?
When you go for a CT scan in Gurgaon you might be
administered a contrast liquid to help enhance
the images. Often, in a CT scan, the softer
tissues are not clearly revealed. In such a case,
a special dye is used known as contrast material.
Contrast materials are commonly made of iodine or
barium sulfate. It can be administered to the
patient orally, via injection, or through an
enema. It helps by highlighting softer tissues
like blood vessels and other organs. In order to
wash off the contrast liquid, you must drink
plenty of water.

Why Should You Choose Your Clinic Carefully?
The reason for making an informed choice is that,
CT scans use radiation. Even though the ionising
radiation is not lethal, overexposure needs to be
avoided. The best clinics employ professionals
radiologists. Such individuals train extensively
in conducting CT scans and other lab tests. A
good radiologist will have years of experience
dealing with CT scans and the necessary
certifications. Such individuals understand the
intricacies of performing a CT scan and can
conduct the procedure safely,
