CT SCAN OF MUSCULOSCELETAL SYSTEM

A  CT scan of the musculoskeletal system** is an advanced imaging technique used to assess bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. It provides detailed cross-sectional images, allowing for the evaluation of fractures, bone lesions, joint abnormalities, and complex anatomical structures like the spine or pelvis. CT scans are especially useful in diagnosing fractures that are difficult to see on X-rays, evaluating bone tumors, and planning orthopedic surgeries. The scan may be done with or without contrast, depending on the clinical need. This imaging method is quick, non-invasive, and offers high-resolution images that aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in musculoskeletal conditions.
