- Orthopedics

For Orthopedic purposes, a CT scan is used to detect both bone and soft tissue damage. If your physician suspects you have a condition or injury that doesn’t appear on an x-ray, they may recommend a CT scan. During a routine x-ray, dense tissues can block other areas. The CT scans produce “slices” of particular parts of the body. The CT scan puts together the different “slices” and creates a three-dimensional view, clearly showing both bone and soft tissue.
