Computed tomography (CT) examination is an advanced diagnostic method that allows you to obtain accurate cross-sectional images of the patient’s body. Using X-ray technology and computer image analysis, a CT scan provides information about the structure and pathologies of organs, systems, and tissues. It is widely used in medicine, providing valuable support in diagnosis, treatment planning and patient monitoring.

It is a painless examination, although it may cause some discomfort due to the need to stay in one position for several minutes. The duration of the examination is from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the type of organ being examined and whether a contrast agent will be administered during the examination.

Our laboratory uses the latest CT technologies and experienced staff to provide patients with precise diagnostics. We work with medical specialists to ensure proper interpretation of examination results.

4-6 hours before the examination, the patient should fast,
in order to properly hydrate the body, drink 0.5 – 1 liter of non-carbonated water before the examination,
on the day of the examination, the medicines taken permanently should be taken as on a normal day. The exceptions are some antidiabetic drugs (Metformax, Metformin, Metfogamma, Metifor, Melin, Formetic, Glukophage, Glukoformin, Dioformin, Siofor, Sladamet, Pheuformax and others), which should be discontinued after consultation with the attending physician 48 hours before the examination and 48 hours after contrast administration, after re-determination of serum creatinine level
patients suffering from asthma should bring inhaled drugs with them, while in the case of thyroid diseases, the patient should have the current TSH level result or written consent for the administration of contrast from the endocrinologist.

The course of the CT examination:

wear loose clothes that does not interfere with the examination, removing any metal objects (jewellery, watches, etc.),
the patient is placed on the examination table, which slides through the hole around the ring of detectors,
the electroradiologist puts the patient in the correct position and may ask you to hold your breath for a short time to get clear images,
the examination table moves gradually through the ring, recording a series of images in different sections of the body.

Post-examination procedures after CT:

after the examination, the patient can immediately return to his normal activities,
in the case of intravenous contrast, each patient remains under the observation of medical staff for 30 minutes after the examination, because during the first 20 minutes side effects may occur, such as: feeling of warmth, metallic taste in the mouth, dizziness and very rarely: nausea, vomiting, urticaria, pruritus, bronchospasm, decrease in BP,
after the examination using intravenous contrast, the patient should consume the right amount of fluids, if there are no contraindications, drink up to 2.5 liters of fluids within the next 24 hours after administration of the contrast to help excrete it from the body,

FAQ

Why is contrast needed in a CT scan?

Computed tomography with contrast is an examination with a very high diagnostic value, because the contrast agents absorbs the radiation emitted during the examination differently than the surrounding tissues, which makes them more visible.
Is the radiation dose in a CT scan safe for the patient?

There is practically no safe dose of radiation, and the amount of radiation dose taken depends on the type of CT examination. However, a single examination does not pose a threat to health and life.
Will I receive the CT scan results right away?

Scan results are usually not available right after the examination is completed. The computer processes the information from the images taken, which are then interpreted by the radiologist.
How many CT scans can be done in a year?

There is no recommended limit for the number of examinations, but they are not indifferent to a living organism. Therefore, these examinations can only be performed on the basis of a doctor's referral - even if it is a private examination. Used too often or in too high doses can adversely affect the body. In the case of children or seniors, a CT scan is recommended only when the diagnostic benefits are greater than the potential risks. This examination is not recommended in pregnant women. The doctor refers the patient when it is necessary to make a diagnosis and based on clinical indications.
What is the difference between a CT scan and an MRI scan?

Both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are diagnostic imaging examinations. They enable obtaining accurate images of tissues and organs in various planes, also in 3D technology. In both examinations, the patient is placed on a table, which is then slid into the scanner. Remain still during both examinations. Both examinations are painless and non-invasive. The difference is in the imaging method. During MRI, a magnetic field is used. In the case of computed tomography, X-rays are used for imaging.

The examinations are performed by the LOM SCAN laboratory

CT examinations are carried out by the LOM Scan diagnostic laboratory, run by a company in which majority shareholder is LOMiRT UMB Ltd. Both laboratories, i.e. BioSkaner and LOM Scan, are located on the area of BPNT, ul. Żurawia 71a, Bialystok.
