MSCT of the Shin (Lower Leg)
MSCT of the shin is a precise, non‑invasive exam based on layered X‑ray scanning with slice thickness of just 0.5 mm. This high detail reveals subtle changes in bones, joints and soft tissues. We use a modern low‑dose CT scanner for minimal radiation. The examination is performed on CT Philips Brilliance 64.
