A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is an advanced, painless diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It helps detect, diagnose, and monitor a wide range of medical conditions with speed and accuracy.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert radiologists use high-resolution multi-slice CT scanners to provide precise imaging for timely and accurate treatment planning.
All CT scans are performed only by prior appointment to ensure patient safety, comfort, and zero waiting time.
What is CT Scan?
CT (Computed Tomography) scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer technology to produce cross-sectional 2D and 3D images of the internal structures of your body.
It is faster than MRI and especially useful in emergencies, trauma, and bone injuries, as well as for evaluating internal organs and blood vessels in detail.
