It explains how the test is done, what to expect, and the risks involved. It is not meant to replace informed discussion between you and your doctor, but can act as a starting point for such a discussion.  \nWhat is a CT Urogram?  \nCT is a non invasive way of way of looking inside your body to help diagnose medical conditions and guide treatment. A CT (computed tomography) scanner uses special x-ray equipment and computers to produce images of multiple“slices” of the part of the body being scanned. These images of the inside of the body can then be examined on a computer monitor.  \nCT Scans provide much greater detail of internal organs, bone, blood vessels and soft tissue than ordinary x-rays and so are often the preferred method of diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions such as cancers, infection, inflammation, vascular disease and trauma. A CT Urogram is particularly good at identifying kidney stones.  \nHow does it work?  \nThe CT scanner consists ofa ‘doughnut-shaped’ structure with a hole, or short tunnel, in the centre. You will lie on a narrow examination table that slides into and out of this tunnel. The x-ray tube and electronic x-ray detectors are located opposite each other in a ring, called a gantry, which rotates around you. A narrow fan-shaped beam of X-rays is produced from inside the gantry, passes through your body and is detected by electronic sensors on the other side of the gantry. This information is sent to a computer that produces a picture of the internal structure of the body. Modern CT scanners are so fast that they can scan through large sections of the body in just a few seconds.  \nThe scanner is operated by a Radiographer, who is a professional trained to carry out X-rays and other imaging procedures. The pictures are displayed on a computer workstation for examination by the Radiologist, who is a doctor specially trained to interpret the images and carry out more complex imaging examinations.  \nA CT Urogram is usually performed without an injection of contrast medium but occasionally this may be necessary. Special contrast (dye) is used to enhance visibility of the area being scanned, particularly the blood vessels and blood flow to organs.  \nAre there any risks?  \nCT scanning involves the use of X-rays. There are strict guidelines in place for the use of x-rays in diagnosing medical conditions so CT scans can only be performed at the request of a Doctor. The amount of radiation used is more than an ordinary X-ray ofthe chest or body and is equal to the natural radiation that we receive from the atmosphere over a period of approximately three years. Women who are or might be pregnant must inform a member of staff in advance. Because children are more sensitive to radiation, they should have a CT study only if it is essential for making a diagnosis and should not have repeated CT studies unless absolutely necessary. We will keep the radiation dose as low as we possibly can.  \nMany CT examinations involve you having a contrast medium (dye) injected into a vein to increase the quality of information obtained from the scan. The injection usually causes nothing more than a warm feeling passing around your body, a metallic taste in your mouth and occasionally a sensation of needing to urinate. These effects subside within a few minutes. The risk of serious allergic reaction to contrast materials that contain iodine is extremely rare, and radiology departments are well-equipped to deal with them.  \nDespite these slight risks, your doctor believes it is advisable that you should have this examination, and do bear in mind there are greater risks from missing a serious disorder by not having your scan.  \nWhat do I have to do before my CT?  \nTaking tablets and medicin","cbCaieCl78djT68H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieCl78djT68H","pdf",458851,"English","# Introduction\n# What is a CT Urogram?\n# How does it work?\n# Are there any risks?\n# What do I have to do before my CT?\n## Taking tablets and medicines\n## Females\n## Allergy to iodine or intravenous contrast medium\n# Where do I go when I arrive at the hospital?\n# Can I bring a relative/friend?","[{\"question\":\"What is a CT urogram used to look for?\",\"answer\":\"A CT urogram is a test that helps examine structures inside the abdomen, particularly the kidneys and bladder.
