Computed Tomography (CT)
The newest CT scanners make diagnosis faster and more accurate. Because of donors like you, a patient will receive care that’s tailored for their needs. Surgeries and procedures that used to pose a risk to a patient can now be done with almost no risk at all.
A CT scanner diagnoses and monitors a variety of internal conditions. It takes X-ray images of a patient’s body and combines them into a three-dimensional cross-section. These top-quality scans locate blood clots, fluid loss and build-up, and tumours. They detect injuries and bleeding, diagnose muscle and bone conditions, and monitor cancers, heart disease, and growths. The new CT scanners also expose patients and clinicians to less X-ray radiation, safeguarding their long-term health.
Last year, almost 58,000 CT scans were performed at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals.
