The new CT scanners move the patient while the picture is being made. The pitch is a ratio of the speed of movement to the rotation of the machine around the patient. (the rotation of the machine is inside the cover and only seen thru the small openings). A higher pitch gives a faster scan but the images may be less detailed. A lower pitch gives a more detailed image but takes longer to acquire. This is all figured by the technologist to acquire the best image for the test being performed.
No. The doctor will ask you to urinate during the CT scan itself in order to get an accurate image.
The CT scan uses many X-ray images in thin slices to make a 3D image.
Yes, Wallingford, CT, has a noise ordinance that regulates excessive noise levels to maintain community peace and safety. The ordinance outlines specific permissible noise levels and times during which noise is restricted, particularly in residential areas. Violations can result in fines or other enforcement actions. For detailed information, residents can refer to the town’s municipal code or local regulations.
My friend was telling me she had to do a ct image but I am not sure what that is ?
No. Only the spaces where the disks are. And MRI or CT scan can actually image the disk itself.
If your doctor tells you not to eat before your CT imaging session, it is very important that you do not disregard this order. The CT will make an image of the inside of your body so that your doctor can see what is wrong with you. In order for this image to be correct, to really show what the issue is, it is important that you do not do anything to interfere with it.
They both use ionizing radiation to make an image.
CAT scan, or CT image
Yes, there are different types of CT scanners, including single-slice, multi-slice, and cone-beam CT scanners. These scanners vary in their capabilities, such as the number of slices they can image at once and their applications in different medical specialties.

CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
