Importance of CT Left Humerus (Plain)
The left humerus plays a vital role in arm movement and shoulder function. When a patient experiences severe pain, swelling, or restricted mobility in the upper arm, a CT Left Humerus (Plain) scan provides a comprehensive evaluation.
This test is important for:
-
Detecting bone fractures or hidden microfractures.
-
Assessing dislocations and joint misalignments.
-
Monitoring healing progress after fractures or surgeries.
-
Detecting bone infections, cysts, or lesions.
-
Planning orthopedic or reconstructive surgeries.
Given its superior image quality, CT offers better visualization of bone details than traditional imaging methods, enabling doctors to create more precise treatment plans.

CT Left Humerus (Plain) Procedure and Parameters
During the CT Left Humerus (Plain) test, the patient is positioned on a CT table with the left arm placed carefully to capture full bone length. The scanner rotates around the arm, taking multiple cross-sectional images that are later reconstructed into 3D visuals for analysis.
Testing Steps:
-
The patient is asked to remove any metal objects near the scanning area.
-
The left arm is positioned comfortably on the table pad.
-
The CT machine moves around the arm, taking images from multiple angles.
-
The process takes only a few minutes, requiring minimal movement.
Scan Parameters (typical values):
-
Slice Thickness: 1–3 mm
-
Tube Voltage (kVp): 120–140 kVp
-
Scan Mode: Helical or axial
-
Reconstruction Interval: 1–2 mm
-
Patient Position: Supine, arm by side
Once imaging is complete, radiologists review the slices and generate a diagnostic report within a few hours.
