CT SCAN BHU FACILITATING CANCER DETECTION

Computerized Tomography or CT scan BHU is a versatile and advanced imaging technique that not only helps in diagnosis of variety of medical disorders but also helps detect presence of cancer.

Cancer detection with help of CT scanning

Since a CT scan can generate highly precise and detailed images of internal body structures, it is being commonly used for confirming presence of a tumor or overgrowth that may or may not be malignant. CT scanning also helps determine actual size and shape of the tumor with precise measurements.

Thanks to the developments in CT scanning technologies, patients need not get admitted for getting tested.

CT scanning in cancer treatment

Doctors can gain all relevant information about the tumor including the vessels that are supplying blood to the tumor and its precise location. Further analysis of the tumor is possible by performing biopsy. In CT guided biopsy, CT scan BHU machine helps doctors find the perfect location for piercing needle that is supposed to collect tissue from the tumor.

In certain case of radiation therapies, needles are used for radiofrequency ablation. CT scan BHU can be of great use for conducting such procedures. Repeated CT scanning during the period of radiation treatment can provide useful feedback about response of radiation treatment.
