Multi-slice Advanced Whole Body CT Scan
What Is A Multi-slice Advanced Whole Body CT Scan?
The multi-slice CT scanner refers to a special CT system, which is equipped with a multiple-row detector. They are used to simultaneously collect data at different slice locations. They work together and enable doctors to have clear images of multiple parts of the body. It is a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is the fastest, painless, and provides unambiguous results.
Why is it used?
The procedure is typically used to help diagnose the cause of abdominal or pelvic pain and infections such as appendicitis, cancers of the colon, liver, kidneys, pancreas and bladder as well as lymphoma, kidney and bladder stones.

It is also used to quickly identify injuries to the liver, spleen, kidneys or other internal organs in cases of trauma, guided biopsies, including organ transplants or gastric bypass and more.
How is the procedure done?
Multi-slice CT scan is the upgraded version of the single-slice CT scan. The scanner allows thinner slices to be obtained in a shorter period of time, resulting in more detail and additional view capabilities. When the person passes through the CT system, the big round opening starts to rotate, taking multiple scan images. During this rotation, multiple beams take clear images of the body’s section which is inside the circular part of the equipment.
What are the benefits?
There are numerous advantages of preferring multi-slice CT scans over conventional scanning. Here are some:
- Multi-slice advanced whole-body CT scan takes much less time than a usual CT scan. Because of this fast procedure, the amount of radiation exposure to a patient is greatly reduced.
- The quality of images in multi-slice advanced CT scans is of higher quality.
- It provides more accurate and precise results. The technique is helpful in critical conditions that could not otherwise be detected via conventional methods or procedures.
- Images from multi-slice CT scans can be reconstructed into 3D images, enabling radiologists and doctors to take immediate and precise measures.
What are the risks?
Multislice CT scan is safe, gets done fast and is completely painless. You will not feel any kind of discomfort and the doctors will be able to get a better picture of your health through this procedure.
