CT Scan

Advanced Cross-Sectional Imaging for Complex Diagnosis

When X-rays and ultrasounds aren’t enough, CT (Computed Tomography) scans provide the detailed, three-dimensional view doctors need to diagnose complex conditions accurately. At SJS Hospital, our advanced CT scanner delivers high-resolution imaging that’s essential for everything from stroke diagnosis to cancer staging—bringing sophisticated diagnostic technology to your community at costs far below what private centers charge.

Advanced Multi-Slice CT Technology

Our modern CT scanner produces detailed cross-sectional images of your body, revealing information that simple X-rays cannot. From detecting small tumors to assessing internal injuries, CT scans provide the comprehensive visualization needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Life-Saving Speed in Emergencies

In stroke, head injury, or trauma, every second counts. Our CT scanner operates 24/7 for emergency cases, providing critical brain and body scans within minutes. This rapid imaging capability has saved countless lives by enabling immediate, appropriate treatment decisions.

Comprehensive CT Scan Services

 Brain and head CT scans (stroke diagnosis—CRITICAL for immediate treatment decisions; head injury and trauma assessment; brain tumors and masses; headache evaluation; seizure investigation; brain hemorrhage detection; hydrocephalus; skull fractures; sinus problems; facial bone fractures; pre and post-neurosurgery scans); chest CT scans (lung infections, lung masses and tumors, lung cancer detection and staging, chronic lung diseases, pulmonary embolism, chest trauma evaluation, pleural effusion assessment, mediastinal masses, lymph node evaluation, COVID-19 lung involvement); abdominal and pelvic CT scans (liver problems, pancreatic diseases and tumors, kidney stones and masses, appendicitis diagnosis, intestinal obstruction, abdominal trauma, gallbladder and bile duct evaluation, spleen assessment, gynecological masses, urinary system evaluation, gastrointestinal tumors, abdominal abscess detection); spine CT scans (spinal fractures, disc problems, spinal canal narrowing, vertebral tumors, pre and post-spine surgery evaluation, spinal trauma assessment, infection of spine); musculoskeletal CT scans (complex fractures requiring surgical planning, joint problems, bone tumors, osteomyelitis, pre-operative orthopedic planning, trauma with multiple injuries); CT angiography (CTA) (heart vessel imaging, brain vessel evaluation, neck vessel assessment, abdominal vessel imaging, pulmonary angiography, peripheral vascular disease); specialized CT studies (CT-guided biopsies and procedures, virtual colonoscopy, triple rule-out CT, whole body CT for trauma or cancer staging, high-resolution CT for lung diseases, CT urography).

Common Conditions Diagnosed

Neurological emergencies (acute stroke, brain hemorrhage or bleeding, traumatic brain injury,

subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural or epidural hematoma, brain swelling); cancer detection and staging (lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney tumors, lymphomas, metastatic disease, treatment response monitoring, recurrence detection); trauma assessment (head injuries, chest trauma, abdominal trauma, pelvic fractures, spinal injuries, multi-system trauma evaluation); abdominal emergencies (appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, perforated ulcer, diverticulitis, abdominal abscess, kidney stones causing obstruction, acute pancreatitis); vascular conditions (aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, stroke-causing vessel blockages); respiratory problems (chronic cough with suspicious findings, lung nodules or masses, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pleural diseases, tuberculosis complications).

Integration with Hospital Departments

 Critical support across all specialties: Emergency and Casualty (24/7 availability for trauma and emergencies, immediate stroke protocols, rapid trauma assessment, life-saving diagnostic capability); Neurology and Neurosurgery (stroke diagnosis and monitoring, brain tumor evaluation, pre and post-operative imaging, spine problem assessment, surgical planning); Oncology Cancer Center (cancer detection and diagnosis, staging before treatment, treatment planning for radiation therapy, monitoring treatment response, detecting recurrence, guided biopsies); Cardiology and CVTS (coronary CT angiography, aortic evaluation, pre-cardiac surgery assessment, post-operative monitoring, chest pain evaluation); Orthopedics (complex fracture assessment, surgical planning for difficult cases, joint problems requiring detailed imaging, spine evaluation, trauma imaging); General Surgery (acute abdomen evaluation, pre-operative assessment, post-operative complications, abscess detection and drainage planning, trauma surgery planning); Urology (kidney stone detection and planning, kidney tumor evaluation, urinary tract assessment, CT urography for detailed evaluation); General Medicine (investigating complex symptoms, diagnosing internal organ diseases, monitoring chronic conditions, detecting unexpected findings).

Advanced Imaging Capabilities

 Multi-planar reconstruction (images viewed in any plane—axial, coronal, sagittal; 3D reconstruction for complex cases; better surgical planning; comprehensive visualization); contrast-enhanced scans (intravenous contrast for vascular imaging, tumor characterization, infection identification, organ perfusion assessment, angiography studies); non-contrast studies (kidney stone detection, brain hemorrhage, bone evaluation, when contrast is contraindicated).

Safety and Quality

 Radiation safety (modern CT technology with dose optimization, lowest possible radiation for diagnostic quality, special protocols for children, shielding of sensitive areas, risk-benefit assessment for each scan, alternative imaging considered when appropriate); patient safety (screening for contrast allergies, kidney function assessment before contrast, proper hydration protocols, monitoring during procedure, emergency equipment available, experienced technologists); quality imaging (high-resolution multi-slice scanner, proper patient positioning, optimal scan protocols for each indication, regular equipment calibration and maintenance, quality control measures).

Affordable Advanced Imaging

 CT scans at private centers can cost ₹3,000-15,000 or more. Our rates are substantially lower: basic CT scans at affordable rates, contrast studies reasonably priced, and no hidden charges.
