ADDLIFE CT Scans
Computer Tomography (CT) Scans are an essential tool in the medical field, providing non-invasive imaging that is vital for diagnostic assessment and preventative medicine. CT scans use X-ray technology to take images, though unlike traditional X-rays, where a single, stationary image is taken, CT scans take multiple images by sending radiation beams around the patient's body.
What is a CT Scan Used For?
ADDLIFE offers CT scans in Bangkok to:
- Screen for cancerous tumors in the lungs
- Check the calcium content of the coronary arteries (Coronary Calcium Scan)
- Measure the amount of fat in the middle of the abdomen
- Check for tumor presence, location and size in various organs
- Check for the spread of the tumor to nearby lymph nodes
- Check for congestion of blood in the brain, abdomen, and pelvis
- Check for blood vessel abnormalities, such as an aortic aneurysm, embolism, etc.
- Check for bone abnormalities such as fractures, loosening, and inflammation, etc.
Who Should Get a CT Scan?
CT scans are a particular type of imaging technology that is not always suitable for diagnosis. ADDLIFE recommends its diagnostic CT scan service in Bangkok for patients who:
- Want a comprehensive analysis of their bodies
- Are older than 40 years old
- Have a family history of cancer, heart attack, or embolism
- Drink alcohol
- Smoke cigarettes
- Do not exercise regularly
The ADDLIFE Advantage
ADDLIFE provides state-of-the-art 128-slice CT scans for optimal anatomical imaging. This technology takes 128 images in around 4 seconds, providing doctors with fast and accurate images for a swift diagnosis. For some patients whose condition is time-sensitive, such as those who have suffered a stroke in Bangkok, a CT scan is the ideal diagnostic solution.
ADDLIFE offers CT calcium score screening and low dose CT scans in Bangkok.
CT scans at ADDLIFE are offered at the same price as Government Hospitals. Patients at ADDLIFE gain the extra benefit of receiving the quality of service they would expect at a private hospital but at a wholly affordable price.
Lung Cancer Screening
In a city like Bangkok, where pollution is rampant and cigarette smoking is still prevalent, lung cancer rates are particularly high, even in non-smokers. ADDLIFE uses a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening to limit the amount of radiation a patient receives. You can order your own low dose ct scan package now if you want to screen for lung cancer.
Patients who are worried about their lung health can contact our doctors to schedule a CT lung screening.
