Summary
CT scans provide essential, detailed images for diagnosis with minimal radiation, tailored for safety, ensuring medical benefits outweigh associated risks, according to expert Mark Supanich.
CT scans are a common medical test in which a medical professional takes detailed pictures of the inside of the patient’s body. Doctors use these images to diagnose injuries, infections, and tumors. CT scans use a small amount of radiation, but Mark Supanich from Rush University Medical Center assures patients that CT scans use the lowest possible radiation dose. The amount of radiation is carefully adjusted for each person’s needs, considering the patient’s health concerns and size. CT scans offer excellent image quality with less radiation, and the health benefits far outweigh the potential risks.
