Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging method that performs thin-layer scanning of the body’s internal structures. The obtained data are transformed by a special computer program into three-dimensional (3D) images, allowing physicians to accurately assess organ structures, pathological changes, and disease spread.

Advantages of the 640-Slice CT Scanner

The 640-slice CT scanner at Khozrevanidze Clinic represents world-class technology combining speed, precision, and patient safety. Its main advantages include:
• Ultra-high resolution – clear visualization with 0.5 mm slices.
• Minimal radiation – a special dose control system reduces radiation exposure, especially for children and the elderly.
• High scanning speed – a complete organ can be scanned within seconds.
• 3D reconstruction – enables detailed assessment of organs or vascular systems in multiple planes and spatial projections.
• Motion control – minimizes motion artifacts during heart and lung scans, crucial for cardiac diagnostics.

Main Clinical Applications of CT

CT is widely used in almost all medical fields:
• Brain and skull – diagnosis of stroke, hemorrhage, tumors, and trauma.
• Chest organs – detection of lung diseases (pneumonia, embolism, oncology), and evaluation of mediastinal structures.
• Cardiac CT / CT Coronary Angiography – non-invasive evaluation of coronary arteries and calcium index.
• Abdominal and pelvic organs – precise imaging of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, intestines, and reproductive organs.
• Musculoskeletal system – detailed assessment of fractures, degenerative, and tumor processes.
• CT Angiography – visualization of blood vessels throughout the body to detect aneurysms, stenoses, and thromboses.

Preparation

After scheduling, you may receive a preliminary phone consultation with a doctor regarding preparation, depending on your individual needs.

Procedure

CT is fast and painless. The patient lies on the scanner table, and scanning lasts a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the exam type. In some cases, a contrast agent is used to highlight vessels and tissue structures, improving diagnostic accuracy.
The clinic maintains strict radiation dose control, and all procedures are performed under the supervision of experienced radiologists and technicians.

Results

After the scan, the images are processed with 3D reconstruction software. The radiology team at Khozrevanidze Clinic provides a detailed report and conclusion, available in printed and/or digital format (on CD or via patient portal).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is CT painful?
No. The scan is painless. With contrast, you may briefly feel warmth or a metallic taste.

How long does it take?
Scanning takes 1–5 minutes; the total visit usually lasts 15–30 minutes.

Should I fast?
For contrast studies – yes, 4–6 hours before. For non-contrast – usually not required.

I’m allergic to iodine. Can I still have a CT?
Possibly, but a prior evaluation and premedication/alternative approach may be needed.

I have claustrophobia.
CT is open-type and fast; calming methods can be discussed with your doctor if needed.
