What is a CT Scan?
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses X-ray technology and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. CT scans are commonly used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, including:
- Bone fractures
- Cancer (especially to detect tumors)
- Internal bleeding
- Lung diseases
- Infections
CT scans are quick, highly effective, and provide accurate images to help your doctor identify problems in the body. At Bluegrass Regional Imaging, we use the latest high-resolution CT scanners to deliver clear and precise results for optimal diagnosis.
What is a PET/CT Scan?
A PET/CT scan combines two advanced imaging techniques: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT). The PET scan provides detailed images of metabolic activity in the body, while the CT scan offers high-resolution images of anatomical structures. By combining these two techniques, PET/CT scans provide a comprehensive view of both the functional and structural aspects of your body.
PET/CT scans are particularly valuable for:
- Cancer detection: They can identify abnormal metabolic activity in tissues, making them especially useful for detecting early-stage cancer and monitoring cancer treatment.
- Evaluating heart disease: PET/CT scans help detect areas of the heart that may be affected by disease or reduced blood flow.
- Monitoring treatment efficacy: PET/CT scans are useful for assessing how well treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, are working, and for detecting cancer recurrence.
By providing detailed insights into both tissue function and anatomy, PET/CT scans are invaluable in diagnosing complex conditions and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
