CT Scan Singapore
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is an advanced medical imaging technique that employs a combination of X-ray equipment and sophisticated computers to produce detailed cross-sectional images or 'slices' of the body. These images allow medical professionals to view and analyze internal structures with great clarity, assisting in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various medical conditions. The process is non-invasive and can capture images of soft tissue, blood vessels, and bones.
Contrast vs. Non-Contrast CT Scans
- Contrast CT: This technique utilizes a special dye injected into the body to enhance visibility, often making it invaluable for detecting and characterizing pathologies like vascular diseases, certain tumors, and inflammation. The procedure might take a bit longer due to the dye's administration and there's a minor risk of allergic reactions or kidney complications in some patients.
- Non-Contrast CT: Without the use of any dye, this approach relies on the natural differences in tissue density to visualize structures. It's generally quicker and sidesteps the risks associated with contrast agents, making it ideal for assessing bone fractures, lung and chest images, and initial evaluations of some conditions.
Your doctor will be able to discuss with you in detail the ideal type of CT scan for your condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
CT scans, on the other hand, use X-rays and are faster and more effective in visualizing bone fractures, lung issues, and certain cancers but involve exposure to ionizing radiation. The choice between the two often depends on the specific clinical scenario, the area of the body being examined, and the type of information a doctor needs.
Additionally, when used with contrast agents, CT scans can provide greater detail about blood supply to the tumors, which can be critical for differentiating benign from malignant masses and planning treatment strategies. However, while CT scans can visualize tumors, further tests, such as biopsies, are usually required to definitively diagnose and classify the type and nature of a tumor.
