What is a CT LT Knee Joint Scan?
A CT scan of the left knee uses specialized X-ray technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the knee. This allows the radiologist to see tiny bone fractures, joint abnormalities, or degenerative changes that might not be visible otherwise. In some cases, a contrast dye may be used to highlight soft tissue and blood vessels.
Why is CT LT Knee Joint Done?
Doctors may recommend this scan to help:
- Detect fractures, bone lesions, or cartilage damage
- Assess ligament or meniscus injuries
- Plan surgeries or evaluate postoperative healing
- Diagnose arthritis, infections, or tumors
- Evaluate chronic pain or swelling in the left knee
Preparation and Procedure
No special preparation is required for most CT knee scans. Patients should remove any metal jewelry or clothing near the knee before the procedure. The scan usually takes 5–10 minutes, and patients lie still on a scanning table while the CT machine captures detailed images. It’s quick, painless, and highly accurate.
Safety and Accuracy
CT scans are safe and deliver essential diagnostic information quickly. Radiation exposure is minimal and carefully controlled. For patients with metal implants or complex fractures, CT LT Knee Joint offers unmatched precision compared to plain X-rays.
