    Non-medical person here... This is fascinating! If just reading a CT scan can be this tricky, no wonder medical education takes so long and is so hard!

    great video, but would be nice if the mouse/pointer was a different color than the scan so easier to follow along with. but great video either way.

    Great video. Typically how high up does the abdominal CT can go? (ie. below the larynx?) Thanks

    You did not mention if it was with iv contrast or oral contrast or without

    • @santiago033
      @santiago033 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Abdominal CT scans are usually taken during the venous phase (70 seconds after IV contrast, more or less). You can tell this is a venous phase because the portal vein and the hepatic veins are enhanced and the liver is hyper attenuating when compared to a noncontrast image. Also, it looks like no oral contrast whas given, as the stomach and intestinal contents are not enhanced.

    Sir I have one question to ask .. how In the ct axial View, the left side of the organs appears in the right side and right side of organs in left? Why we can't tilt it?
    Please answer sir..

      Because images are inverted. It is like looking in a mirror, the right side of your body will be on the left side of the film and the left side of your body will be on right

    • @chaz6399
      @chaz6399 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      CT scans use x-rays so getting one adds to your radiation exposure. The risk from any one scan is small but the more scans you receive the more radiation exposure you accumulate and the risk adds up.
      Also different CT scans (e.g. heart vs entire abdomen) require amounts of radiation. The CT scanner matters too. As technology improves the same scan can be obtained with less radiation.
      As with many things in medicine it's a trade off.
      For the average person, if a scan is medically indicated the risk of not doing the scan probably far outweighs the risk of the scan.
      if you're an eccentric millionaire and want to get scanned once a month just because you can, that's probably not a good idea.
