A CT scan is a medical imaging technique often used after a car accident, workplace injury, or sports injury to provide detailed cross-sectional views of the body, allowing NYPMR doctors to accurately diagnose internal injuries like bone fractures, internal bleeding, organ damage, and head trauma that might not be visible on a standard X-ray; making it a valuable tool for assessing the severity of these types of injuries and guiding treatment plans.



Key points about CT scans in these situations:


  • Detailed imaging:Compared to a regular X-ray, a CT scan offers a more comprehensive view of internal structures, including soft tissues, allowing for precise identification of injuries like muscle tears, ligament sprains, and organ damage.

  • Internal bleeding detection: CT scans are particularly useful for detecting internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly, especially after a high-impact accident.

  • Head injuries: Head trauma from a car accident or sports injury, a CT scan can reveal skull fractures and brain bleeding.

  • Rapid assessment: CT scans are relatively quick to perform, making them ideal for emergency situations where a rapid diagnosis is crucial.


When a CT scan might be used after a car accident, workplace injury, or sports injury:


  • Significant impact or trauma: If there is a suspicion of serious injuries due to the force of the impact, like a major car crash or a hard fall.

  • Pain with unknown source: When experiencing severe pain in the abdomen, chest, or head, even if external signs of injury are not apparent.

  • Loss of consciousness: If someone loses consciousness after an injury, a CT scan is often done to check for brain damage.

  • Suspected spinal injuries: In cases where spinal cord damage is suspected, a CT scan can provide detailed images of the vertebrae.
