CT Scan
Advanced Computed Tomography for Rapid & Detailed Diagnosis

At M R Hospitals, Thanjavur, our CT imaging service provides rapid, high-resolution cross-sectional imaging to evaluate a wide range of medical and surgical conditions.

CT combines multiple X-ray images with computer processing to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. It is particularly valuable in emergency care, trauma, cancer evaluation and complex surgical conditions. 

Comprehensive CT Imaging

CT can provide detailed assessment of:
• Brain and head
• Chest and lungs
• Abdomen and pelvis
• Liver and biliary system
• Pancreas
• Kidneys and urinary tract
• Blood vessels
• Bones and joints
• Soft tissues
The appropriate CT protocol is selected according to the clinical requirement. 

CT in Emergency Care

CT plays an important role when rapid diagnosis is required.
It can help evaluate:
• Head injury
• Stroke-related emergencies
• Chest emergencies
• Abdominal pain
• Intestinal obstruction
• Perforation
• Acute pancreatitis and its complications
• Trauma
• Internal bleeding
• Other acute surgical conditions
Rapid imaging allows the treating team to make timely decisions regarding medical, endoscopic or surgical treatment. 

CT for Cancer Diagnosis & Staging

CT is an important component of modern cancer care.
It can help with:
• Detection and characterisation of suspected tumours
• Assessment of the extent of disease
• Lymph node evaluation
• Detection of distant disease
• Preoperative planning
• Treatment response assessment
• Post-treatment surveillance
Our CT service supports the hospital's GI Oncology, Surgical Oncology and multidisciplinary cancer care, particularly for patients with gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, thoracic and other malignancies.

CT for Gastrointestinal & HPB Conditions

CT provides detailed anatomical information for complex abdominal conditions involving the:


• Liver
• Gallbladder
• Bile ducts
• Pancreas
• Spleen
• Stomach
• Small intestine
• Colon
• Retroperitoneum

It is particularly useful in evaluating pancreatitis, liver lesions, biliary obstruction, abdominal infections, intestinal obstruction and complex surgical pathology.

Contrast-Enhanced CT

When clinically indicated, contrast material may be administered to improve visualisation of blood vessels, organs and abnormal tissues.
Contrast-enhanced CT can provide additional information for:

• Tumour characterisation
• Vascular assessment
• Inflammatory conditions
• Abscesses and collections
• Liver and pancreatic lesions
• Biliary and abdominal pathology

Before contrast administration, the patient's clinical history and relevant risk factors are assessed. 

CT in Surgical Planning

Detailed cross-sectional imaging is particularly valuable before complex surgical procedures.

CT findings can help surgeons understand:
• Tumour location and extent
• Vascular anatomy
• Relationship of lesions to surrounding organs
• Anatomical variations
• Extent of inflammatory disease
• Operability and surgical approach
This supports planning for major procedures including GI, HPB, oncological and thoracic surgery.
