128-Slice Computed Tomography (CT)

128-slice Computed Tomography (CT) is an advanced imaging modality used to obtain detailed, cross-sectional images of various parts of the body. Thanks to its sophisticated technology, organs, tissues, and vascular structures can be examined in great detail.

Distinguished by its rapid imaging capability, 128-slice CT serves as a vital diagnostic tool that supports physicians throughout the diagnosis and treatment process. It can be used to evaluate various anatomical regions, including the lungs, brain, abdominal area, skeletal structures, and blood vessels.

In What Situations Is 128-Slice CT Used?

• Evaluating lung and thoracic conditions
• Examining conditions related to the brain and nervous system
• Imaging intra-abdominal organs
• Assessing bone and joint structures
• Investigating vascular diseases
• Other diagnostic evaluations deemed necessary by a physician

Advantages of 128-Slice CT

• Provides detailed cross-sectional imaging
• Capable of rapid image acquisition
• Technology suitable for evaluating diverse anatomical regions
• Produces images that assist physicians in the diagnostic process

Important Information Before the Procedure

CT scans utilize X-rays. Some examinations may require the administration of a contrast agent intravenously. Before the procedure, you should inform the healthcare team about any medications you are taking, a history of allergies, kidney conditions, or the possibility of pregnancy. Preparation requirements may vary depending on the specific examination being performed.

A 128-slice CT scan is planned based on a physician's assessment. The necessity and appropriateness of the examination are determined on an individual basis.
