Computed tomography (CT) is a special x-ray examination that is used to make cross-sectional images of the body. This enables important information to be obtained about the location of the foci of disease. This is often of crucial importance for further treatment.

The main reason for a CT scan is that it is impossible to make a diagnosis without knowing what the inside of the body is like. In order to enable an exact diagnosis it is usually necessary to have a series of images of the internal structures of the body.

The examination takes a few minutes. During the examination you lie on a special examination table that moves through the opening of the CT device. During the entire examination, you are under the supervision of qualified personnel and connected to them via an intercom. In order to achieve the best possible quality of the images, we ask you to remain still during the entire examination. For some examinations we may ask you to follow instructions (e.g. inhale, exhale, hold your breath, do not swallow, etc.).
