When unexplained symptoms require detailed investigation, CT (computed tomography) scanning provides comprehensive imaging to help identify underlying causes. Our Non-Specific Symptom CT pathway offers rapid access to advanced imaging as part of a thorough diagnostic workup.
CT scanning may be recommended when initial assessments and tests haven n not provided clear answers for your symptoms. This advanced imaging can help investigate unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal symptoms, unusual lumps or swellings and other non-specific symptoms that warrant detailed internal examination.
CT scanning uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. This allows our radiologists to examine organs, blood vessels, bones and soft tissues in detail, identifying abnormalities that may not be visible on standard X-rays or ultrasound.
CT scans are quick, typically taking just 10-30 minutes. You will lie comfortably on a scanning table that moves through the CT machine. For some scans, a contrast dye may be used to enhance visibility of certain structures. Our experienced radiographers ensure you are comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Your scan is interpreted by specialist radiologists, with results typically available within a few days. A follow-up consultation is arranged to discuss findings, explain what they mean for you and outline any recommended next steps in your care pathway.
