CT Scan Cost For Both Ankle & Joints

5000+ scans done & counting

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan of both ankle joints is a non-invasive imaging procedure that utilizes x-ray technology and a computer to produce detailed images of the bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels in and around your ankle joints. This procedure is useful in diagnosing and evaluating a wide range of conditions that affect the ankle joints such as fractures, degenerative joint diseases like arthritis, tumors, and infections.

The ankle joint, which connects the foot with the lower leg, is a complex structure made up of several bones including the tibia, fibula, and talus. It is crucial for standing, walking, running and jumping, and is vulnerable to various types of injuries and conditions. A CT scan can help to accurately visualize the condition of these bones and the surrounding tissues in high detail, aiding in the proper diagnosis and treatment of ailments related to these areas.
