About CT Hip/Knee/Elbow Joint
A CT Hip/Knee/Elbow Joint exam is a sophisticated imaging exam that uses X-rays and computer technology to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the selected joint without intravenous (IV) dye. It offers great visual detail of the bones, joint surfaces and cartilage, surrounding soft tissue and neighboring structures, which facilitates assessment of joint anatomy. The scan is usually done for the hip joint, knee joint, or elbow joint, depending on the clinical indication.
At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we use advanced computed tomography (CT) technology to capture high-quality images that enable a thorough analysis of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions.
What is a CT Hip/Knee/Elbow Joint?
A CT Hip/Knee/Elbow Joint is an imaging procedure that is performed without intravenous dye. It involves taking X-rays and computer power to visualize the joint and provide details that help the physician know if there are fractures, whether or not joints are aligned correctly, if they have experienced degenerative changes, or any other abnormalities that may not be evident on standard X-rays. This scan is often ordered following an injury, suspected bone fracture, prolonged aching pain, loss of function, and before orthopedic surgeries.

- Suspected fractures
