Importance and Placement of CT Left Hand
Proper placement during CT Left Hand scanning ensures accurate and distortion-free imaging. The patient’s left hand is carefully positioned on the scanning table, palm facing down or sideways depending on the clinical requirement. Immobilization aids may be used to keep the hand steady.
Correct hand alignment directly affects the quality and diagnostic value of the scan. If the positioning is off, it can lead to shadowing or misrepresentation of fractures, which may impact treatment planning. Therefore, placement is considered an important preparatory step at every CT Hand Scan in Nashik center.
