Why Is a CT Right Knee Joint Scan Done?
- Diagnosing sudden or severe right knee pain
- Evaluating injuries from accidents, falls, or sports
- Assessing suspected fractures or dislocations

How Should I Prepare for a Knee CT Scan?

- Remove any jewelry, keys, or metallic objects

- Arrive at the imaging center as directed by your healthcare provider
What Happens During the Scan?

- The CT scanner will circle the knee, capturing detailed 3D images in a matter of minutes.
- The procedure is painless and typically takes just 15–30 minutes.
