What Is Computed Tomography?
Common foot problems a CT exam can address include:
- Arthritis
- Deformities
- Flat feet
- Foreign bodies
- Fractures
- Infection
- Tumors
CT scans are often superior to conventional X-rays because they can more accurately pinpoint a suspected problem.
Pregnant women, especially those in their first trimester, are advised against having a CT exam or any X-ray examination.
