FAQs

Can NCCT Elbow detect fractures?

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

Can NCCT Elbow detect elbow dislocation?

Yes. It can demonstrate abnormal joint alignment or dislocation and may also identify associated fractures or other bony injuries.

Can NCCT Elbow help with surgical planning?

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

Do I need any preparation before the CT scan?

Usually, no special preparation is required for a non-contrast elbow CT. You may be asked to remove jewellery, watches, or other metallic objects from the examination area.

Will I need an MRI after NCCT Elbow?
