General CT scanners are versatile systems for routine diagnostics, producing detailed cross-sectional images of areas like the head, chest, and abdomen. As essential tools in radiology, they help diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, including injuries, tumors, and infections, by clearly visualizing bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels.
CT Angiography (CTA) scanners specialize in visualizing blood vessels. Using a contrast agent, they create detailed 3D images of arteries and veins to diagnose conditions like aneurysms, blockages, and blood clots. This minimally invasive technique is a vital tool in cardiology, neurology, and vascular surgery for both diagnosis and planning.
A CT Simulator is a specialized scanner used in oncology for radiation therapy planning. It precisely maps a tumor’s location, size, and shape relative to healthy organs. This allows oncologists to create an accurate treatment plan that targets cancerous tissue while sparing surrounding areas, making it a critical tool for personalized cancer care.
