An Aortic Angiogram uses CT Technology to look at blood flow in the aorta, the largest artery of your body.

A C.O.W scan (Circle of Willis scan) uses CT to provide detailed, 3D images of the blood vessels that supply blood to your brain. This scan may be combined with a carotid artery angiogram which looks at vessels in your neck.

CT Brain Scans & IAMs scans allows 3D visualisation of your brain or IAMs (Internal Auditory Meatus). At Envision we are the only private practice with the new state-of-the-art Siemens CT Somotom Force machine, which produces the clearest picture at the lowest radiation dose. In addition, the protocols are personally prescribed by our radiologists to ensure extremely low levels of radiation, while maintaining optimal image quality.

CT IVU (CT IntraVenous Urography) uses CT to take images of the genitourinary tract. This scan is used to detect abnormalities of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

Intravenous means “inside vein”, in this case, a contrast agent injection (dye). Urography is the study of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters and bladder.

A CPTA scan (CT pulmonary angiography scan) uses CT Technology to look at the arteries of the lung to help with diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung).

A CT Sialogram uses Computed Tomography and a dye (contrast agent) to study of your salivary glands and ducts.

A CT Sinus and/or Petrous Bones scan uses CT Technology  to create 3D images of your sinuses. It can be a useful diagnostic tool for sinusitis, infections, polyps, structural issues, facial injuries and tumors.

The TAVI workup is a series of tests and scans used when you have been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, to ensure TAVI (Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a safe procedure for you and ensure that your aortic stenosis is severe enough to treat.

A Venogram scan uses CT Technology  to look at blood flow through the veins, particularly in the arms and legs. It is sometimes used to look for blood clots called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if an ultrasound presents unclear results.

A Gated Heart Angiogram is a type of scan that corrolates information from Cardiac CT Scans and Electrocardiogram (ECG) traces of the heart, to provide highly detailed diagnostic information. There are several types of Gated Heart Angiograms that may be requested by your doctor or specialist.

A HR CT Chest scan uses High Resolution CT Technology  to examine the chest, including lungs and heart. Thin slice images  are taken to provide extremely high definition images of lung alveoli, airways, interstitium, and pulmonary vessels.

CT KUB (CT of the Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder) uses CT Technology to take images of the Kidneys, Ureters and Bladders. In male patients, the prostate gland and seminal vesicles are also scanned. This scan is used to diagnose conditions of the urinary system, including kidney stones and causes of flank pain.

This scan helps doctors diagnose and monitor conditions like kidney stones, blockages, tumours and infections in the urinary tract. Unlike a regular x-ray, a CT scan provides more detailed images, making the detection of abnormalities within these organs easier. The procedure is non-invasive, providing valuable diagnostic information.

An Arthrogram of the Knee uses CT technology to obtain pictures of your knee joint after a contrast material has been injected into the joint. This creates images of the soft tissue structures of your joint, such as tendons, ligaments, muscles and cartilage which are not always visible without administering contrast material. Knee Arthrograms are a useful diagnostic tool.

An Angiogram of the Leg scan, also known as an Aorto-Bifemoral scan or Leg Runoff scan, uses CT Technology  to look at blood flow in the blood vessels of the abdomen and legs.

A Low-Dose (LD) CT Chest scan uses low dose CT Technology to examine the chest, including lungs and heart. This type of scan is often used in people who are considered at high risk of lung disease or infections.

LD CT scans produce images of sufficient quality to detect many abnormalities in the chest while using up to 90 percent less ionising radiation than a conventional chest CT scan. Our state-of-the-art Siemens Somotom Force CT scanner features a turbo flash mode which allows us to perform ultra-low dose Chest CTs at a comparable radiation dose to a Chest x-ray.

The PV Scan (or Pulmonary Vein scan) uses CT technology to see the pulmonary veins. These are the large blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. The scan is designed to identify any blockages in those vessels, show the anatomy and provide data for an ablation procedure.

A Renal Angiogram uses CT Technology  to look at blood vessels in your kidneys.

The Thoracic Aorta scan uses CT technology to detect problems with blood flow through your aorta. While the aorta is scanned with CT, an Electrocardiogram (ECG) trace is recorded. This information is correlated with the CT data to provide highly detailed diagnostic information.
