How does ct scan pitch works?
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.
Can you drink water before a CT scan?
No. The doctor will ask you to urinate during the CT scan itself in order to get an accurate image.
How does an image from a CT scanner differ from a regular X-ray scanner?
The CT scan uses many X-ray images in thin slices to make a 3D image.
How can I avoid my work's corporation tax?
My friend was telling me she had to do a ct image but I am not sure what that is ?
Can an x-ray image the discs in spine?
No. Only the spaces where the disks are. And MRI or CT scan can actually image the disk itself.
Do Not Eat Before CT Imaging Sessions?
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.
How are CT scans and x rays the same?
They both use ionizing radiation to make an image.
What is a thin fan-shaped x ray beam that rotates around the patient?
CAT scan, or CT image
Are there different types of CT scanners?
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.
What best characterizes a CT scan?
uses ionizing x-rays and a computer to produce a transverse image of the body organs
What do computed tomography scans do?
CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
What is the difference between a ct scan and a spiral ct scan?
No difference. CT machines used to take a single 'slice' at a time. Now they take a 'spiral' image whilst the patient moves through them and the 'slices' are created afterwards by the machine's software. When the multi-slice CT machines came along, people started referring to them as 'spiral CT' to differentiate from the older machines. All CTs these days are 'spiral'.
