What you need to know about Full Body CT Scan in City of Edinburgh

A computerized tomography (CT) scan, sometimes referred to as computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan, is a type of imaging test that uses a combination of sophisticated X-ray technology and a computer to create cross-sectional images of the body. The images produced show more detail than a regular X-ray and can show blood vessels, bones, and soft tissues in various parts of the body. The scan can help your doctor detect a variety of diseases and conditions. In a full-body CT scan, the test is used to visualize virtually all parts of the body.

A full-body CT scan can analyze three major areas of the body: the heart, the lungs, and the abdomen. This test is commonly used on those who already have cancer, to see if it has spread to other parts of the body. It is also helpful in an emergency situation to help your doctor examine a major injury. Besides, the test can be used to:

Diagnose disorders of the muscle and the bone, such as fractures and bone tumors
Pinpoint the exact location of an infection, blood clot, or tumor
Detect and monitor diseases and conditions that may be present in your body
Detect internal bleeding and internal injuries.

Your doctor may also recommend a full-body CT scan if you are at a high risk of lung cancer.

What's the Recovery Time for Full Body CT Scan Procedures in City of Edinburgh?

What's the Success Rate of Full Body CT Scan Procedures in City of Edinburgh?

A full-body CT scan has the potential to be inaccurate. A cancer diagnosis based on a CT scan has up to 30% inaccuracy rates. In addition, the procedure is not recommended for those without symptoms.

A full-body CT scan carries some potential risks. During the procedure, your body will be exposed to ionizing radiation. While low doses of radiation in the procedure have not been revealed to cause any harm in the long-term, much greater doses may slightly increase your risk of cancer. The procedure can also harm unborn babies. Therefore, make sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant.

In some cases, the contrast material can cause allergic reactions, which may result in a rash or itchiness.
