Service Providers for Ct Scan of Left Heel (Calcaneum)
A CT scan of the left heel (calcaneum) is used to examine fractures, bone tumors, or other abnormalities in the heel bone. During the procedure, you will lie on a table while the scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images of the heel. Preparation involves removing any metal objects, such as jewelry or shoes. The procedure is painless, though contrast dye may be used to enhance the images. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and radiation exposure. Results are interpreted by analyzing the images for fractures, lesions, or inflammation. Conditions like prior surgeries or contrast allergies may affect the process. Afterward, normal activities can be resumed.
