Computed Tomography (CT) of the body uses a combination of X-rays and computer to create imagines (pictures) of your internal organs including bones and tissues. The images are produced by the X-ray beam circling the body multiple times, this allows for different angles to be captured and creates a (2D) cross-sectional “sliced image”. The computer then combines and stacks the images to produce a sectional image of the designated body part.
Images from a CT scan are much more detailed than a regular X-ray and help your doctor detect a variety of diseases and conditions. Having a CT scan is fast, painless, noninvasive and accurate.
In emergency cases, it can reveal internal injuries and bleeding quickly enough to help save lives. Tell your doctor if there’s a possibility you might be pregnant and discuss any recent illnesses, medical conditions, medications you’re taking, and allergies.
You will be instructed not to eat or drink anything for a few hours beforehand. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. These medications must be taken 12 hours prior to your exam.

An arthrogram is an x-ray procedure in which x-ray dye (iodinated contrast) is injected into a joint (shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle). This allows the radiologist to better identify normal structures, loose bodies, abnormal growths, as well as damage to ligaments and the joint capsule. The arthrogram is frequently performed in conjunction with a post-arthrogram MRI (magnetic resonance image).
