 All About CT Scan of the Sinuses 


Common Uses of the CT Scan


CT Imaging is:

* one of the best and fastest tools for studying the chest, abdomen and pelvis because it provides detailed, cross-sectional views of all types of tissue.

* often the preferred method for diagnosing many different cancers, including lung, liver and pancreatic cancer, since the image allows a physician to confirm the presence of a tumor and measure its size, precise location and the extent of the tumor's involvement with other nearby tissue.

* an examination that plays a significant role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases that can lead to stroke, kidney failure or even death. CT is commonly used to assess for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung vessels) as well as for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

* invaluable in diagnosing and treating spinal problems and injuries to the hands, feet and other skeletal structures because it can clearly show even very small bones as well as surrounding tissues such as muscle and blood vessels.

Physicians often use the CT examination to:

* quickly identify injuries to the lungs, heart and vessels, liver, spleen, kidneys, bowel or other internal organs in cases of trauma.

* guide biopsies and other procedures such as abscess drainages and minimally invasive tumor treatments.

* plan for and assess the results of surgery, such as organ transplants or gastric bypass.

* stage, plan and properly administer radiation treatments for tumors as well as monitor response to chemotherapy.

* measure bone mineral density for the detection of osteoporosis.
