CT: Innovative Technology at Hospital del Guadalentín

At Hospital del Guadalentín, we have Computed Tomography (CT) technology, an advanced diagnostic tool that provides detailed images of internal body structures. 

What is a CT Scan?

It is an imaging technique that combines a series of X-rays taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of the body. These images can be used to diagnose internal diseases and injuries with a much greater level of detail than a conventional X-ray. 

Types of CT Scans Available

Provides detailed images of brain anatomy, essential for the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases and traumatic injuries. 

It is essential for evaluating abdominal and pelvic organs, facilitating the identification of pathologies such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, gallbladder and bile duct problems, kidney disorders, tumours, or inflammatory diseases. 

It is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows visualizing coronary anatomy and assessing the presence of coronary artery disease. 

It is used to diagnose complex fractures, soft tissue injuries, and other conditions of the musculoskeletal system, being a pillar in orthopedics and traumatology. 

Combines tomography with a contrast medium to visualize the vascular system, allowing the detection of aneurysms, occlusions, and other vascular pathologies. 

Preparation and Process: Before the CT Scan

Preparation before undergoing a CT scan depends on the type of exam, this may include fasting or the administration of a contrast medium. Our medical team is prepared to ensure that each patient is informed and comfortable throughout the process.
