CT scan for ankle joint

 CT scan of an ankle joint takes approximately 5-10 minutes. 

A CT scan of the ankle allows physicians to examine bones, soft tissues, and joints to determine whether there are any damages, fractures, or further abnormalities. An ankle CT scan may detect tumors or masses that may be cancerous, that may require treatment, which is planned using the scan.

The process of taking a CT scan for the ankle begins by taking many different X-ray views from various different angles, which are then combined with the use of computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissue inside of your body.
