Did you know that 84 million CT scans were
performed in the U.S. in 2022? CT scans are the
most popular medical imaging exams in the U.S.,
providing sharp, focused three-dimensional images
that are superior to standard X-rays. Computed
tomography (CT) was introduced in the early 70s
and has become the imaging exam of choice. CT
scans are created by using a 360-degree x-ray
beam and imaged slices to reconstruct the
tomographic plane of a patient. CT scans are used
for diagnostic purposes and can detect a wide
range of abnormalities or diseases, including
trauma, infection, cancer, inflammation,
pneumonia, tuberculosis, angiography, calcium
scoring, sinusitis, bone fracture, stroke, spinal
column damage and more.

Lets take a closer look at some specific studies
and how a CT scanner can help with your
practice. Brain studies CT scans of the brain
can detect a variety of types of tumors, stokes
and other lesions (like hematomas) in the brain
area. Congenital abnormalities in children can
also be confirmed with a CT scan. Sinus studies
CT scanners can show details of sinusitis,
including the location and extent of tiny
fractures in the sinus and nasal bones. CT scans
can also evaluate trauma or disease of the
sphenoid bone and can also help pinpoint areas of
chronic sinus infection. CT scans are ideal for
planning prior to functional endoscopic sinus
surgery.

Body scans You can identify abnormal body
structures with a CT body scan, which scans from
the chin to below the hips. Youll be able to see
tumors, fractures, cysts and other damages. In
addition, CT scans can be utilized to observe
abdominal organs, including adrenal glands,
spleen, pancreas, lymph nodes, kidneys and
liver. Chest scans CT scans can identify
problems in the respiratory and cardiovascular
systems as well as detecting tumors and detailing
fluid accumulations in chest infections.

Aorta scans Aorta CT scans enable physicians to
locate aneurysms and other aortic diseases in the
thoracic or abdominal sections of the aorta. In
addition, these scans enable the measurement of
an arterys thickness which aids the diagnosis or
aortic aneurysms, aortic clots and aortic
ruptures. Virtual endoscopy This is a new CT
technique that utilizes a spiral CT scan to
enable physicians to see inside organs and other
structures without the use of surgery or special
instruments. One such virtual endoscopy is the CT
colonography or virtual colonoscopy. This
non-invasive cancer screening method is growing
in popularity.
