MSCT of the Hand
Hand MSCT is a modern, high‑precision diagnostic method widely used in orthopedics. Multi‑slice scanning provides detailed images of bones, joints and soft tissues. Contrast enhancement may be used to assess cartilage, muscles, ligaments, vessels and nerves. Our low‑dose CT scanner minimizes radiation exposure. The examination is performed on CT Philips Brilliance 64.
