Advances in CT Scan BHU Tests Focus at Faster and Better Imaging

There have been remarkable advances in imaging techniques in terms of the actual procedures and their applications. It is also observed that fusion of different imaging techniques is being performed for diagnosis and treatment of several medical conditions.

Imaging tests as substitute to exploratory surgeries

This can be considered as one of the most noteworthy advancements in use of imaging tests. Thanks to diagnostic imaging such as CT scan BHU, exploratory surgeries are being phased out rapidly.

Exploratory surgeries need to be performed for assisting diagnosis and treatment of many diseases or health conditions such as acute appendicitis, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, liver abscess, different types of cancer, infections, and gallstones to name a few.

Although these are not considered as major procedures, patients need to spend couple of days in hospital. One cannot overlook risks of surgeries including infections, bleeding, and chances of damage to internal organs.

CT scan BHU has virtually replaced exploratory surgeries for obvious benefits. Doctors are able to view the inside structures of body without need to make an incision. CT scanning procedure is fast and accurate. Patients need not get admitted to hospital in order to get these tests performed.

Thanks to CT scans techniques, doctors are able to detect presence of abnormalities without performing exploratory surgeries. CT scanning is also used for determining exact location for conducting medical biopsies.

More precise and reliable information

Technological advances in medical imaging procedures have not only simplified the test procedures from doctors’ and patients’ point of view but have also improved quality of results for more dependable information.

Imaging techniques to assist surgeries

It is anticipated that medical imaging tests will soon become necessary during surgeries. In case of a minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopy or endoscopy imaging techniques can help doctors view the structures in order to perform surgeries with great ease and precision. It is no wonder that minimally invasive surgeries are being combined with imaging techniques to reduce complications and improve success rates.

Three dimensional imaging techniques have already need available and CT scan BHU is increasingly being adopted for generating 3D models of heart for assisting cardiac surgeons during surgeries. The three dimensional model is used for by surgeon to understand exact location of surgical probes by rotating the model of heart on computer screen.

Fusion of imaging techniques
It is estimated that in next one or two decades, CT scanning and other imaging techniques will be used for viewing body structures on cellular as well as molecular levels. There will be multiple uses of imaging in addition to understanding only the anatomical details.

The shift has already begun with introduction of Positron Emission Tomography that performs at molecular level and is a part of nuclear medicine.

There is a growing use of different imaging techniques in combination. Such combinations of imaging techniques are used for better accuracy and speed of procedure. Development of prototype scanners that combine PET and MR scanning is already a reality. The next step will attempt to fuse CT scan BHU with MR scanning to achieve better results.
