•  What is an NCCT Right Knee Joint scan?

An NCCT (non-contrast computed tomography) scan of the right knee joint is a diagnostic imaging test that generates detailed cross-sectional images of the knee structures, including bones, cartilage, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues, without the use of contrast agents. This scan is commonly used to evaluate various conditions, such as fractures, ligament injuries (like tears), meniscal tears, and joint effusions. It provides high-resolution images that help healthcare providers accurately diagnose and assess the extent of any problems affecting the knee. The procedure is typically quick and safe, making it suitable for patients who may have contraindications to contrast materials or require immediate evaluation. Overall, the NCCT scan is a valuable tool in diagnosing and guiding treatment for knee-related issues.

• Why is it done?

  An NCCT Right Knee Joint is done for various reasons:

  1. To identify and assess suspected fractures in the bones of the knee.
  2. To evaluate injuries or tears in ligaments, such as the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or PCL (posterior cruciate ligament).
  3. To detect tears or damage in the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
  4. To assess the presence of excess fluid in the knee joint, which may indicate inflammation or injury.
  5. To investigate the presence of bone tumours or other abnormalities in the knee area.

  How to Prepare for an NCCT Right Knee Joint?

  Below are the following preparations required for an NCCT Right Knee Joint:

  1. Discuss your medical history, including any allergies and medications you are currently taking, especially regarding contrast agents.
  2. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal fasteners. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
  3. Take off any jewellery, watches, or accessories that could interfere with the imaging.
  4. Fasting is usually not required for a non-contrast scan, but confirm any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.

  What is the Procedure for an NCCT Right Knee Joint?

  The procedure for an NCCT Right Knee Joint generally involves the following steps:

  1. After changing into a hospital gown and removing any metal objects, you will lie down on the CT scanner table.
  2. The technician will position your leg and knee to ensure optimal imaging, often having you lie on your back with the knee slightly bent or straightened, depending on the area being examined.
  3. The CT machine will rotate around your knee, capturing a series of cross-sectional images from various angles. You may be instructed to hold still and breathe normally or to hold your breath briefly during certain scans.
  4. The entire procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes, during which the technician will monitor the process and ensure proper alignment.
  5. After the scan is finished, you can get dressed and return to your normal activities. The images will be reviewed by a radiologist, who will send a report to your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

  What is the Aftercare for an NCCT Right Knee Joint?

1. You can usually return to normal activities immediately after the scan, as there are no restrictions.
2. Monitor for any unusual symptoms, such as pain, swelling, or discomfort in the knee, and contact your healthcare provider if they arise.
3. If you were advised to fast before the scan, be sure to hydrate well afterwards.
4. Wait for your healthcare provider to share the results and discuss any necessary next steps.
5. If you have questions or concerns about the scan or its results, contact your healthcare team for clarification.
