CT Scan in Ranchi
Detailed cross-sectional imaging for accurate diagnosis, emergency evaluation and treatment planning.
What is a CT Scan?
Computed Tomography (CT) combines X-rays with computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images. It is especially useful when doctors need rapid and precise information about the brain, chest, abdomen, bones, blood vessels or injuries.
When might your doctor advise CT?
- Head injury, suspected bleeding or selected neurological symptoms.
- Chest infection, lung lesion or trauma.
- Abdominal pain, suspected appendicitis or other surgical conditions.
- Kidney or ureteric stones.
- Complex fractures.
- Selected cancer evaluation and follow-up.
- CT angiography for blood-vessel assessment.

Before your scan

The scan process
Your prescription and clinical indication are reviewed.
You lie on a table that moves through the CT scanner.
Images are acquired rapidly; you may be asked to hold your breath briefly.
The acquired images are reviewed and reported according to clinical findings.
Will contrast be required?
Some CT scans are done without contrast. Others require oral or intravenous contrast to improve visualisation of organs or blood vessels. Contrast is used only when clinically appropriate.
Always inform the team about previous contrast allergy, significant kidney disease, pregnancy or other relevant medical conditions.
Is CT Scan safe?
CT uses ionising radiation. Scans should be performed when clinically justified and with an appropriate protocol designed to obtain necessary diagnostic information while avoiding unnecessary exposure.
