CT Scanning

CT scanning or CAT scanning (Computerised Axial Tomography) is used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

It may also refer to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanning

They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.

Doesn't it make you wonder why these radiation questions have not been answered??

The pictures are taken via gamma camera driven by a computer program

The process of digitization of a image so as to store it in the binary value in the frame buffer is called scan-conversion.

If the scan follows on a work-related incident or injury then it may be recordable. The details are important. Consult someone with specialist knowledge of the OSHA Injury Reporting requirements, who also can be told the details of the situation.

It won't harm the pregnant woman. It WILL, however, hurt your unborn fetus. Depending how far along you are in your pregnancy and which body part is imaged will determine how much it will possibly interfere with your fetus' development.

For example, if you were to get a CT scan of your brain, then your abdomen area would be shielded and your baby would be pretty well protected from any errant radiation as it is not in the primary radiation beam.

If you were to get a CT scan of your abdomen, however, this would more than likely only happen in an extreme emergency situation as the dose to your unborn fetus would be great and it would surely disrupt his development. To what degree, no one really knows. It would also depend on how many weeks pregnant you are. The farther along that you are, the better the outcome in lessening your chance of significant damage to your unborn child. Radiation DOES kill cells. While we can regrow cells, sometimes (in development) those cells cannot be replaced if they were being formed at a critical time in the babies development.

Any radiation study being requested on a pregnant female should always be questioned as to the importance of the study and can any other test be done first. You and your doctor must outweigh the risks and benefits before undergoing a radiation test while pregnant.

The timing for returning to work after a CT scan generally depends on the individual's health and the reason for the scan. In most cases, you can go back to work immediately after the procedure, especially if it was a routine scan without sedation. However, if you received sedation or contrast dye, it may be advisable to wait until you feel fully alert and free from any side effects. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

A CT scan, computed tomography, is a medical test performed to diagnose a malady. The CT scan will allow the doctor to see internal injuries not shown on an X-ray picture.

A physician prescribes the study for a patient, a radiologist authorizes and protocols the study, an x-ray technologist executes the study. The physical "use" of the machine is done by the x-ray technologist, but each of these persons can be said to use ct scans. By the way ct scans are also used by veterinarians, and have been used for archaeological pursuits (the study of Egyptian mummy's.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is amedical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail. MRI makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body. MRI can create more detailed images of the human body than are possible with X-rays.

You do not have to stay home after a CAT scan. The procedure has no residual effects. After you leave the clinic or hospital, you can resume normal activities if you are otherwise healthy.

A major discovery surfaced in 1987 by two curious people; Darrell Laurence and Adrian Shrine. Mr. Lawrence was head of Laurence Electronics and was friends with the genius, Mr. Shrine of Scotland. With their combined expertise, they managed to put together the largest search for the Loch Ness Monster in the loch of Inverness, Scotland known as Operation Deepscan. It was an expedition to sweep all areas of the loch, every depth of 745 feet in search for Nessie. Twenty boats that contained sonar units were sailed around the loch. The result... three very large moving objects. Were they real? We may never know.

An imaging scan that measures the activity or functional level of the brain by measuring its use of glucose.

Positron emission tomography, a process that uses radiation to give you a 3d image of the body.

PET scans are used to view nodules in the lungs or pleural cavity and check other organs for infiltrates or spots, such as a spot on a kidney which can't be seen on regular x-ray equipment. It defines and makes problems clearer to see.

• Depends on whether you sre haven contrast or not, but if you have contrast then yes and if you do not need contrast then no.
• A CT Scan needs contrast dye. Contrast dye is given to show up certain organs and also protect the kidneys. The dye can either be given in liquid form mixed with a tiny bit of fruit juice or pop (instructions will be given to you by your pharmacist if you are having liquid contrast dye) or the contrast dye may be given by IV at the imaging department. Depending on what time you are having your CT Scan you do need to fast. Example: If your CT Scan is in the morning then you can have breakfast, but nothing but LOTS of water during the whole day and another 2 litres of water before you go for your test. You may have other liquids only during fasting such as tea; fruit juice, but be sure you drink plenty of water! If you have future questions phoning any pharmacist will help you put your mind at rest.

CT is computed tomography and CAT scan is computed axial tomography.
