About This Test
The Upper or Lower Limb CT scan (Scan Charges Only) is a specialized imaging study used to evaluate the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the arms or legs. This non-invasive scan provides detailed cross-sectional images, allowing precise assessment of fractures, dislocations, joint abnormalities, bone lesions, infections, or soft tissue swelling. It is commonly performed in patients with trauma, persistent pain, unexplained swelling, or suspected musculoskeletal pathology. High-resolution imaging helps clinicians visualize subtle bone and soft tissue changes that may not be detected on conventional X-rays. “Scan Charges Only” indicates that the cost covers only the scanning procedure and excludes contrast material or additional consumables. This study is fast, accurate, and aids in treatment planning for surgical, orthopedic, or rehabilitative interventions. By providing a clear view of the limb anatomy, it supports timely diagnosis and effective management of injuries or musculoskeletal disorders.
