FAQs

What can CT Whole Body Screening detect?

Depending on the protocol, it may identify lung nodules, masses, enlarged lymph nodes, organ abnormalities, calcifications, and certain bone or structural abnormalities.

Can CT Whole Body Screening detect cancer?

It may detect suspicious masses, nodules, or other abnormalities that require further evaluation. However, a screening CT cannot by itself confirm or exclude all cancers, and suspicious findings may require additional imaging, laboratory tests, or biopsy.

Can this examination detect lung nodules?

Yes. CT provides detailed images of the lungs and may identify small pulmonary nodules or other lung abnormalities within the scanned area.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Preparation depends on the specific protocol. A non-contrast examination may require little or no preparation, whereas a contrast-enhanced study may require fasting and assessment of kidney function when appropriate.
