Computed tomography in Kharkiv

What does CT show?

CT scan shows changes in the structure of internal organs, blood vessels, soft tissues and bones. The examination allows to reveal the slightest deviations in their anatomical structure and density. The CT method is indispensable for the diagnosis of tumors, pathological changes in tissues and circulatory disorders. Computed tomography of children is performed in most cases to identify possible injuries to the skull or extremities received during childbirth.

CT is used for examination of:

• brain;
• skull bones;
• abdominal cavity organs;
• pelvic organs;
• chest organs;
• spine;
• blood vessels (angiography).

Where can you perform a CT scan?

It is possible to perform a computed tomography in Kharkiv at “ON Clinic Kharkiv ” Medical Center. Appointment and reception around the clock!

For diagnostics, a Siemens SOMATOM go.Up computed tomography device is used, which provides fast and accurate scanning at low radiation exposure. The sensor makes 64 high-quality image scans in one revolution, which allows to scan large ranges in one breath-hold.

Even small blood vessels can be examined with the SOMATOM go.Up tomograph thanks to the contrast enhancement and the scans only 0.5 mm thick.

When is it necessary to undergo computed tomography?

During computed tomography, a patient receives a small dose of X-rays. Therefore, the study is carried out only on the recommendation of a doctor.

Computed tomography is done when the following is necessary:

• to identify pneumonia;
• to conduct examination after fractures and degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system;
• to identify diseases and injuries of the spine;
• to conduct a study of the brain to detect cerebral infarction, tumors and bleeding;
• to measure the thickness of bones in osteoporosis;
• to identify diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

At “ON Clinic Kharkiv Pushkinska”, diagnostics is carried out on the computed tomography machine SOMATOM go.Up, which allows scanning with low radiation exposure. Thanks to the contrast enhancement, even small blood vessels can be examined with the SOMATOM go.Up tomograph.

How to get prepared for Computer Tomography

Preparation for computer tomography supposes refusal to eat and drink 2-4 hours before the study. Immediately before the diagnostics, it is necessary to remove all metal objects (jewelry, watches, clothes with metal items).
