Computed Tomography (CT Scan) By: George Douleh

History CT was invented by Godfrey Hounsfield, a British Engineer and Allan Comrack, a South African physicist, in Awarded the Nobel Prize for contributions to medicine and science in First CT scanners available in 1976, originally dedicated to head imaging only. Became widely available by However took days to construct a single image.

History

Current Technology Roughly 6,000 CT Scanners in the U.S And about 30,000 worldwide.  Therefore have become much less costly. $2,000-$3,000 to get a CT Scan A 512 x 512 inch image can now be constructed in less than a second. Images are now much more detailed.

Current Technology

Procedure Many x-ray beams and a set of x-ray detectors rotate around the body, measuring the amount of radiation absorbed by your body. The examination table is at the same time moving through the scanner, so it follows a spiral path. A special computer processes the data and created a 2 dimensional cross sectional image of your body.  Displayed on the monitor. Procedure usually takes about 30 minutes

Uses of CT Scans CT Scans are used to view:  Internal organs  Bone  Soft tissue  Blood vessels

Pros Painless and accurate Can image bone, soft tissue, and blood vessel at the same time Can be used even if you have an implanted device. Fast and simple; reveal internal injuries quickly enough to save lives!

Cons Radiation exposure – Very slight chance of obtaining cancer Very time consuming – patient must remain motionless for roughly 30 minutes

Limitations Soft tissue near the brain, internal pelvis organs, knee or shoulder can be seen more clearly with MRI The moving table weight limit is about 450 pounds Radiation exposure limits amount of CT Scans you can receive. Claustrophobia

Future Multi-Sensor CT Scan – shorter exam times Decreased X-Ray exposure Even faster results More detail
