Computed Tomography (CT) Scans
Computed Tomography (CT) scans, also referred to as CAT scans, are advanced diagnostic imaging procedures that provide detailed and cross-sectional views of various parts of the body. Utilising a combination of X-rays and computer technology, CT scans offer invaluable insights into internal structures, organs, and tissues.

Whether you require a CT scan for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, or monitoring, our goal is to provide you with the highest level of care and deliver precise and comprehensive imaging results.
What is a CT scan?
A CT scan combines X-ray technology with computerised image processing to generate detailed images of the body’s internal structures. It utilises a rotating X-ray machine that captures multiple cross-sectional images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed by a computer into detailed, three-dimensional images, allowing healthcare professionals to visualise the body’s structures with exceptional clarity.
How does a Computed Tomography scan work?
During a CT scan, you will lie comfortably on a table that moves slowly through a doughnut-shaped machine called a CT scanner. The scanner emits a series of X-ray beams that pass through your body. Detectors within the scanner measure the amount of X-ray radiation that is absorbed by the different tissues in your body. The information is then processed by a computer to generate detailed cross-sectional images, which are interpreted by radiologists.
