In the CT Scan Department of Mediterraneo First Care Santorini, all routine and specialized CT scans, coronary CT angiographies, and brain perfusion studies are conducted.
Routine CT scans
Routine CT scans refer to those that cover large areas of the body (CT scans of the skull, neck, chest, upper and lower abdomen, joints, limbs). However, CT scans of specific areas or organs are also performed for better image analysis, using special techniques or contrast agents to highlight lesions that might not be adequately visible in the general scans of a region.
For example, for the skull area, a CT of the brain, pituitary gland, cerebellopontine angle, petrous bones, skull base, nasal cavities - sinuses, orbits, splanchnocranium, parotid glands, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), etc., may be performed.
Specific exams can also be conducted in other areas of the body.
Specialized CT scans
- Angiographies throughout the body, such as CT coronary angiography (with calcium score), CT aorta (thoracic and abdominal), renal arteries, iliac arteries, arteries of the lower limbs, upper limbs, carotid arteries, intracranial vessels, and pan-angiography with a CT scanner, as well as CT venography of the lower pelvis.
- Dynamic CT scans (e.g., dynamic CT scans of the temporomandibular joints)
- Arthrography under CT, with intra-articular contrast injection
- Esophagus or stomach examination (gastrography), using contrast agent administered orally
- Enterography with CT scan, using contrast agent administered orally.
- Enterography with CT scan, using enteroclysis
- Virtual colonoscopy on a CT scanner.
- Fistulography (with contrast injection into the fistula)
- CT pyelography (urography)
- CT urethrography
- 3D reconstructions in any area requested by the attending physician or required by the exam.
