A CT Leg Plain scan is a non-contrast imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the leg bones and joints. It helps doctors detect fractures, bone deformities, alignment issues, and post-surgical healing without using any contrast dye. The procedure is quick, painless, and highly accurate, usually lasting 7–10 minutes. Because it delivers clear 3D images of bones and internal structures, it is often recommended for patients with leg injuries, chronic pain, or those recovering from orthopedic surgery.

When Is a CT Leg Plain Recommended?

Doctors may advise a CT scan of the leg in the following cases:

  1. Persistent leg pain or swelling after trauma
  2. Detection of small fractures not clear on X-rays
  3. Review of bone alignment before or after orthopedic surgery
  4. Assessment of bone healing after fixation or implant placement
  5. Evaluation of bone cysts, tumors, or abnormal growths
  6. Preoperative planning for joint replacement or reconstruction

How the CT Leg Scan Is Performed

During the procedure, you’ll be asked to lie down on the CT table while the affected leg is placed inside the scanner. The scanner rotates around the leg, capturing multiple cross-sectional images. These images are processed by computer software to build detailed 3D visuals of your leg bones and joints.

The scan usually takes 7–10 minutes. Since this is a plain (non-contrast) scan, no dye or contrast injection is used.

Preparation and Safety Tips

Before coming for your scan:

  1. Remove any metallic objects, belts, or jewelry around the leg area.
  2. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes or a hospital gown.
  3. Pregnant women should inform the radiology team in advance.
  4. CT scans use a very low level of radiation and are considered safe for most patients.

Understanding Your CT Leg Scan Results

Once completed, the CT images are reviewed by a radiologist, who provides a detailed report to your doctor. These images help in identifying:

  1. Microfractures and bone cracks
  2. Infections or bone inflammation
  3. Joint surface abnormalities
  4. Surgical hardware position and healing progress
  5. Structural deformities or tumor formations
  6. The report guides orthopedic specialists in planning effective treatment, surgery, or rehabilitation strategies.
