    A CT scan image showing a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. CT Scan of 11 cm Wilms' tumor of right kidney in 13-month-old patient. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis is an application of computed tomography (CT) and is a sensitive method for diagnosis of abdominal diseases. It is used frequently to determine stage of cancer and to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    The term CAT scan is no longer in technical use because current CT scans enable for multiplanar reconstructions. This makes CT scan the most appropriate term, which is used by radiologists in common vernacular as well as in textbooks and scientific papers. [218] [219] [220]

  4. Full-body CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-body_CT_scan

    A full-body scan is a scan of the patient's entire body as part of the diagnosis or treatment of illnesses. If computed tomography ( CAT ) scan technology is used, it is known as a full-body CT scan , though many medical imaging technologies can perform full-body scans.

  5. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography...

    Volume rendered CT scan of abdominal and pelvic blood vessels. CT angiography is a contrast CT where images are taken with a certain delay after injection of radiocontrast material. The contrast material is radiodense causing it to light up brightly within the blood vessels of interest. In order for the CT scanner to be able to scan the correct ...

  6. Contrast CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_CT

    CT angiography is a contrast CT taken at the location and corresponding phase of the blood vessels of interest, in order to detect vascular diseases. For example, an abdominal aortic angiography is taken in the arterial phase in the abdominal level, and is useful to detect for example aortic dissection. [10]

  7. Computed tomography urography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography_urography

    A computed tomography urography (CT urography or CT urogram) is a computed tomography scan that examines the urinary tract after contrast dye is injected into a vein. [1]In a CT urogram, the contrast agent is through a cannula into a vein, allowed to be cleared by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary tract as part of the urine.

  8. Incidental imaging finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidental_imaging_finding

    On CT scan, benign adenomas typically are of low radiodensity (due to fat content). A radiodensity equal to or below 10 Hounsfield units (HU) is considered diagnostic of an adenoma. [7] An adenoma also shows rapid radiocontrast washout (50% or more of the contrast medium washes out at 10 minutes). If the hormonal evaluation is negative and ...

    Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, performed as a contrast CT, here presented as a volume rendering, specifying the scan range and field of view (FOV). It shows normal anatomy, with no injuries. The subject is a 21 year old male who had blunt trauma to the upper abdomen during motocross.
