CT Scanning

A liver scan may also be helpful in diagnosing specific disorders, by detecting features which are characteristic of a disorder, such as cirrhosis of the liver. It may be part of the battery of tests used to evaluate candidates for liver transplant

do lymph nodes show on a cat scan

There are three nickname choices that scientists are still trying to figure out. These suggestions are, Juicy Dumpling, Spicy Turnip, or Crispy Banana. Please, tell the scientists what your decision is by calling them at 860-484-9281. Thank you.

A Radiologist.

This question is not a simple answer. Most places have different charges for the same test. Some place can be two to three times higher than others in the same area. In other words the CT may be higher than the MRI at one place, but across town it might be the other way around. You can call and ask for charges. Ask if this is the final price or just the list price. Many places give discounts to people paying cash or who will pay their bill off all at once. Or if you are insured , your insurance carrier may have negotiated a cheaper price. Please keep in mind most people doing the scan and in the radiological area do not know charges but they can help direct you to someone who can help you.

It is possible in cases where there are no other available veins but the timing of the scan would have to be adjusted to allow for the additional time it would take the dye to reach the chest. It is not an ideal solution and should generally be avoided.

Yes and no..... This is not just an easy yes or no answer. The technologist doing the scan can wrap you with lead aprons to protect the fetus as much as possible but both mother and fetus will still get some radiation. This is best answered by risk vs benefit. I also believe many times there are other tests without the radiation exposure that can give you an answer. Ask your doctor is there a substitute test that can answer the same question. Many times we see pregnant mothers getting CT scans for very minor problems that either are not worth the risk or could possibly wait until later in the pregnancy to be done. ( the later in the pregnancy the radiation is done , the less risk to the fetus

As always thouroughly discuss this with your doctor, and if still unsure you can try to discuss this with the Radiologist at your local hospital. They are the doctors in the radiologic department that can answer many questions about dealing radiation safety.

Neither, a CAT scan is one where computers are used to synthesise an image, but the radiation used is usually X-rays, though positron emission can be used, in this case it will be using appropriate radiation sources. Fusion and fission don't come into it.

Yes. You can CT any part of the body. What the problem is and what is being looked for would influence whether a CT or another type of scan would be suitable, however.

When The Doctor Needs To See More Body Tissuse

The correct answer is x-rays, a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In radiology, x-rays are not seen as waves, but are thought of as photons, a particulate theory.

Yes. The ultrasound at five weeks will show the yolk sac. The fetus may or may not be visible yet as a small tube shape. By seven to eight weeks, the scan will show a little triangular shape embryo with the body cavities visible, and a beating heart.

refers to imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of any kind of penetrating wave.

No

my husband has just had an apendicitis. In the CT scan it was found (incidental finding) two hypodense focal massess in the neck of the pancreas that will require follow up (MRI). We are freaking out. What could that mean? is it smething seriois or somethig normal? Thanks

No you cannot smoke before a PET scan because it will alter the results and it will be detecting in you system which may cause problems with the scanning process.

Hypermetabolic activity ranging up to 6.46 on a PET scan can mean one or two things. It can either mean you have cancer or an infection.

You can find free high-resolution scans of playmates on websites that focus on vintage magazine collections, such as the Internet Archive or specific fan sites dedicated to Playboy and similar publications. Additionally, some online forums and communities may share scans, but it's essential to ensure that these sources respect copyright laws. Always check the licensing and usage rights associated with any images you find.

A current transformer (CT) is earthed to ensure safety and protect equipment by providing a reference point for the secondary circuit. Grounding helps prevent the build-up of voltages that could lead to electrical shock or damage to the CT and connected devices. Additionally, it mitigates the risk of transient overvoltages and helps ensure accurate measurements by stabilizing the system. Overall, earthing enhances the reliability and safety of electrical systems.

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.

One should wear a hospital gown since it depends on the part of the body to be scanned.
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for a cat scan.
