CT - Ankle Joint
CT Ankle Joint is an advanced imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the ankle joint, including bones, joint surfaces, and surrounding structures. It helps in accurate diagnosis of fractures, dislocations, joint abnormalities, infections, and degenerative conditions.
This scan is especially useful in identifying complex fractures that may not be clearly visible on standard X-rays. It also assists in evaluating joint alignment and detecting subtle bone injuries.
CT imaging offers high-resolution visualization of bony structures and is commonly used in trauma cases, sports injuries, and pre-surgical planning. In some cases, contrast may be used to assess soft tissues more clearly.
This test is recommended for individuals with:
- Ankle pain or swelling
- Suspected fractures or injuries
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Sports-related injuries
- Joint deformity or instability
- Suspected infection or tumor
- Post-trauma evaluation
