Kidney CT Scan
Kidney computed tomography (CT) is a high-tech, effective, and reliable radiological diagnostic method based on obtaining layered images of the patient's body through computer reconstruction. A CT scanner is used, capable of quickly obtaining high-quality images, including 3D ones, with advanced visualization of the vascular structure.
A kidney CT scan (Computed Tomography) is a modern diagnostic method that provides a detailed assessment of kidney structure, functional state, and various pathological changes.
CT scans offer highly informative and clear images, allowing doctors to detect kidney diseases at an early stage.
At Nairi Medical Center in Yerevan, kidney CT scans are performed using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring accurate results with minimal radiation exposure.
When is a Kidney CT Scan Needed?
A kidney CT scan is used in the following cases:
- Kidney stone detection – helps determine the location, size, and number of stones.
- Tumor evaluation – detects benign and malignant growths.
- Kidney injuries – diagnoses damage-related changes.
- Inflammatory and infectious disease diagnosis – helps identify infection or inflammation.
- Vascular assessment – evaluates kidney blood flow and vessel condition.
How to Prepare for a Kidney CT Scan
A kidney CT scan can be performed with or without contrast for more detailed imaging.
- Avoid eating for 4-6 hours before the scan if contrast is used.
- Drink enough water beforehand to support kidney function.
- Inform your doctor if you have an allergy to iodine-based contrast agents.
- Avoid caffeine and smoking on the day of the examination.
