CT Scanogram

5000+ scans done & counting

A CT Scanogram, also known as a CT scout view or survey scan, is a specialized type of X-ray imaging technique. Unlike standard CT scans, which produce cross-sectional images of the body, the CT Scanogram protocol involves generating a two-dimensional overview image. This scan is primarily employed to locate and outline the regions to be examined in detail during subsequent standard CT scanning.

The utilization of this method extends to the evaluation of limb length disparities or irregularities as well. By obtaining these preliminary measurements, orthopedic specialists can assess differences in leg length, joint alignment, or potential skeletal irregularities. These scanograms serve as a crucial roadmap for subsequent detailed CT scans, ensuring accurate positioning and focusing on the specific areas of concern. They play a pivotal role in diagnosing conditions related to leg length inequality and assist in planning tailored treatment strategies for individuals with lower limb issues.
