Spiral computed tomography uses roentgen rays (X-rays) to get detailed images of the inside of the human body like never before. As a result of advanced computer processing, diagnostic images can be created for any part of a patient’s body. Enough data can be collected in a CAT scan for the rendering of an advanced three-dimensional reconstruction of the examined tissue or organ.An X-ray lamp and detectors suspended on opposite sides of a perfectly round hoop are the main components of a CAT scanner. Entering the CAT scan on a special table, the patient is situated between the lamp and detectors. The X-ray lamp generates radiation, which passes through the patient’s body and is picked up by detectors. The fact that X-rays are differently impaired by individual organs/tissues of the body forms the collection basis for the image. The detectors are able to measure the level of this differential weakness and create a digital image of the results. The amount of data attained during the examination has grown due to the application of modern detectors, which has given greater processing possibilities. This means that, after performing an examination, even when the patient has already left the studio, we can use the received data to get additional and alternative renderings of the examined area. They are usually two and three dimensional images of examined structures, and in the case of the cardiovascular system, the images are similar to subtractive angiography. It is also possible to make three-dimensional images of the interior of organs using the light/clearance system (such as: blood vessels, stomach, intestines, trachea, bronchial tree, and even the inside of the middle ear). Such reconstructions are called multi-surface, three-dimensional or virtual endoscopy.CAT scan recommendations for orthopaedic patients:
