What is a CT Scan?

At its core, CT scanning utilizes X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Unlike traditional X-ray imaging, which produces flat, two-dimensional images, CT scanning generates a series of thin, horizontal "slices" or tomographic images that provide a three-dimensional view of internal structures. 

The CT scanning process begins with the patient lying on a motorized table that slides into the center of the CT scanner—a large, doughnut-shaped machine. As the table moves through the scanner, X-ray beams rotate around the body, emitting radiation in multiple directions.

Accessing private healthcare is easy, whether you choose to pay directly or use private medical insurance. 

If you are paying for yourself, we can usually offer an upfront cost which you can then choose to pay in full or access one of our easy payment options.

If you have insurance, we can arrange direct settlement with your insurance provider, although you should check in advance to see if your treatment is covered. For more information, visit our private medical insurance page.
