| A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It provides a more comprehensive view than traditional X-rays and is useful for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including injuries, infections, tumors, and vascular diseases. CT scans are commonly used in various medical specialties to aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of patients. Tele radiology is a branch of radiology that involves the transmission of medical images, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, from one location to another for interpretation and diagnosis. This allows radiologists to analyze images remotely, providing quicker access to expertise and facilitating timely patient care. Tele radiology is particularly valuable in situations where immediate interpretation is needed, such as emergency cases or when radiologists are not physically present at a specific healthcare facility. |
