CT Scan: Your Gateway to Precise Diagnosis
A computed tomography (CT) scan, often referred to as a CAT scan, offers a window into the intricate workings of your body. At Medicana Health Group, we harness the power of CT technology to provide rapid, non-invasive, and remarkably detailed insights into your health.
Beyond the Ordinary X-ray
While traditional X-rays offer a glimpse into your skeletal structure, CT scans go further. They employ multiple X-ray beams and sophisticated computer processing to create cross-sectional images, revealing the hidden landscapes of your bones, organs, soft tissues, and even the brain. This unparalleled precision empowers our specialists to pinpoint abnormalities, assess blood flow, and identify potential issues early on.
Weightbearing CT: A New Dimension in Diagnostics
Medicana Winchester Clinic is proud to offer a groundbreaking imaging solution: Weightbearing CT (WBCT). This innovative technology captures 3D images of your body while you’re in a weight-bearing position, offering a more accurate representation of your anatomy under natural conditions. This is particularly valuable for diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions and planning precise treatments.

CT scans are used to diagnose a wide array of conditions, including injuries, infections, tumors, and vascular diseases. They are invaluable for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring your health.
CT scans involve exposure to a small amount of radiation. However, the benefits of accurate diagnosis usually outweigh the risks. Our radiologists carefully adhere to safety protocols and minimize radiation exposure.
Preparation depends on the type of scan. You might need to fast or avoid certain medications. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions before your appointment.
The scan itself is quick, often taking only a few seconds to minutes. However, the entire appointment may take longer due to preparation and post-scan procedures.
We ensure you receive a copy of your scan images and report, empowering you to take an active role in your healthcare.
Unlike traditional CT scans where you lie down, a weightbearing CT scan allows you to stand or put weight on the area being scanned, offering a more realistic view of your anatomy and joint alignment.
