FAQs

Which joints or body parts can be examined?

Depending on the doctor's request, CT may be performed for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, or foot, as well as other specified extremity regions.

Can CT Extremities/Joints detect fractures?

Yes. CT provides detailed visualization of bone and is particularly useful for assessing complex, displaced, or joint-involving fractures and their extent.

Can CT Extremities/Joints help with surgical planning?

Yes. High-resolution CT images and, when required, multiplanar or 3D reconstructions can provide detailed anatomical information that may assist with orthopedic treatment and surgical planning.

Can children undergo CT Extremities/Joints?

Yes, when clinically necessary. Because children are more sensitive to radiation, the examination is appropriately justified and performed using age- and size-adjusted protocols.
