Tomography (CT) examination is a diagnostic method known by everyone, and it is the imaging of the body in desired thicknesses (1 cm or 1 mm) by using X-rays. In “Spiral Tomography”, the area to be examined is scanned as a whole in a very short time.
In spiral tomography, this process is completed in about 15 seconds, the images taken are collected in the memory of the device and are ready to be examined when desired.
Classic Tomography devices scan the body in slices, the table on which the patient lies during the shooting moves as much as the thickness of the section to be examined. When the table stops, the image is taken with the X-ray given to the area to be examined, the table moves again and the same process is repeated.
In “Spiral Tomography”, the area to be examined is scanned as a whole in a very short time. Here, the table is constantly in motion, and the X-ray tube rotates around the patient in a spiral fashion and takes images. In spiral tomography, this process is completed in about 15 seconds, the images taken are collected in the memory of the device and are ready to be examined when desired.
Chest (Thorax) and Abdominal (Abdominal) organs are organs that change place with respiratory movements. During tomographic examinations of these regions, the patient holds his or her breath so that images can be taken clearly; however, this breath holding process may not be at the same depth each time, and the patient may not always be able to hold the breath in accordance with the device (classical tomography).
As such, in the sections taken depending on the patient’s breathing depth; The section on the right (as seen in the picture above) is not a continuation of the one on the left, and the round white lung lesion was missed because the patient was not breathing regularly. Therefore, the next section taken may not actually be the continuation of the previous lung area and if there is a lesion there, this will be missed with the classical tomography method.
However, in the “Spiral Method” eg. if the lung is scanned, the patient takes a deep breath, holds his breath; The device completes the examination very quickly, within 15 seconds, without re-breathing. Since the lung is completely scanned, there is no cross-sectional skipping. Spiral Tomography, which has many advantages over classical tomography, is indisputable in terms of diagnosis, especially in thoracic and abdominal scans.
