  1. In a survey conducted in U.S.A 75% of Clinicians voted CT & MRI as the MOST EVENTFUL USEFUL INVENTION which has contributed to the Diagnosis, Management and Better Health in the 20th century

  2. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CT • A CT MACHINE HAS A X-RAY TUBE AND A SET OF DETECTORS OPPOSITE TO IT MOUNTED ON A RING LIKE FRAME . • DURING SCAN THE TUBE AND DETECTORS STARTS ROTATING ARROUND THE PATIENT . • THE X-RAYS COMING OUT OF THE PATIENT FALLS ON THE DETECTOR WHICH SENDS ELECTRIC SIGNALS TO A COMPUTER. • THE COMPUTER USES THESE SIGNALS TO RECONSTRUCT AN IMAGE.

  3. HOUNSFIELD UNIT( CT NO.) +1000 +100-200 +50-60 +30-40 +20 0 -10 - -100 -200 - -1000 BONE CALCIFICATION FRESH BLEED SOLID (PARENCHYMA) FLUID WATER FAT AIR

  4. ADVANCES IN CT • SPIRAL CT • THE PATIENT MOVES IN SUCH A SPEED THAT DURING ONE REVOLUTION OF THE TUBE THE PATIENT IS MOVED BYA DISTANCE EQUAL TO THE SLICE THICKNESS,A COMPLETE VOLUME OF TISSUE IS EXAMINED,HENCE THE TERM” SPIRAL VOLUMETRIC CT”. • EBT(ULTRA FAST CT) • HERE INSTEAD OF X-RAY TUBE AN ELECTRON BEAM ROTATES ARROUND A CIRCULAR ANODE WHICH EMITS X-RAYS AS A RESULT OF BOMBARDMENT OF THE ELECTRONS. • AN ELECTRON BEAM CAN BE MOVED FASTER THAN X-RAY TUBE ARROUND THE PATIENT RESULTING ULTR FAST SCANS. IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT MRI HAS PROVIDED STIMULUS FOR FURTHER ADVANCES IN CT.

  5. MULTISLICE CT • THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS NEW TECHNIQUE INCLUDE, • THE EXTENSION OF THE SCAN AREA WITHOUT ANY DRAWBACKS IN TERMS OF IMAGE QUALITY AND SCAN DURATION. • A SIGNIFIACANT REDUCTION OF COMMON IMAGE ARTIFACTS. • EXCELLENT QUALITY OF 2D AND 3D RECONSTRUCTIONS . • THESE FEATURES MAKES MSCT IDEAL TOOL FOR , • CEREBRAL PERFUSION STUDIES • CT ANGIOGRAPHY • BRAIN STEM AND POSTERIOR FOSSA ASSESSMENT • SKULLBASE AND SPINAL IMAGING.

  34. ADVANTAGES OVER MRI • COST EFFECTIVE COMPARED TO MRI • IN TRAUMA AND ANY ACUTE EMERGENCY SITUATION CT IS THE PREFFERED MODE OF IMAGING. • NO CLAUSTROPHOBIA • REQUIRES LESS TIME THAN MRI SO IMMEDIATE AND FAST INFORMATION. • FOR BONE,LUNG & ABDOMEN USEFUL THAN MRI. • CT GUIDED PROCEDURES. • OPTIONS OF VIRTUAL ENDOSCOPY ,3D RECONSTRUCTION ETC.

  35. We at Balmatta Diagnostic & Research Centre Ltd are committed to Excellence in Diagnosis,Human relationship and good Rapport with Clinicians. • We Provide Complete Imaging Under ONE ROOF • FUTURE IS AT
