Computer tomography (CT) is a very important tool in X-ray diagnostics. We especially use computed tomography in the field of sports medicine for trauma surgery. ith this device, bone injuries as well as structures from the inside of the body can also be displayed three-dimensionally. Computed tomography is a valuable aid in preoperative preparation and treatment planning, especially in trauma surgery, as it enables us to determine bone injuries in their exact position and extent.
In our Radstadt-Obertauern hospital, we work with a Siemens Somatom go. Now computed tomography. The CT scanner delivers submillimeter layers and features advanced dose modulation to reduce patient dose and protect sensitive organs.

Procedure of the examination:
Computed tomography uses X-rays. During the examination, you will be surrounded by the X-ray tube while lying down. At the same time, an X-ray beam is emitted by the machine.
With the computer tomograph, each part of the body can be scanned separately and thus examined. During the examination, you should lie as still and relaxed as possible. The CT examination takes about two to five minutes, depending on the effort, and is completely painless.
