How do you read a CT scan report?
In order to read a CT scan, you must consider the colors white, gray, and black.
Each color represents a distinct part of your body: soft tissues, fat, air, and bone.
A change in color in a specific area of your body might indicate the presence of an abnormality.
Dense tissues, such as bone, are seen as white patches..
CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body.
These cross-sectional images of the area being studied can then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or transferred to a CD.
CT scans can provide detailed images of bones, tissues, and even blood vessels inside your body.
However, the images that are produced by these scans appear in shades of blacks and grays.
It can be difficult at times even for a trained eye to differentiate one tissue type from another in certain situations.
