CT scan
At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, we use advanced diagnostic computerised tomography scans (CT scans) to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. This noninvasive test uses X-rays to create cross-sectional images, also called slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside the body.
Safety you can trust
Diagnostic CT scans are painless and generally safe. They do expose you to low doses of radiation, which have not been shown to have long-term health effects. But repeated scans may slightly raise a person's lifetime risk of cancer. This risk affects children more than adults.
Mayo Clinic Healthcare provides the newest, fastest machines and techniques available, which use less radiation than older CT machines do. Your consultant will take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns you have.
