What is a CT Scan?

A CT scan (Computed Tomography) is a special type of X-ray that takes detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It provides more information than a regular X-ray and helps doctors see bones, organs, tissues, and blood vessels clearly.

At The Luton Hospital Nairobi, we use advanced CT scan technology to detect, diagnose, and monitor a wide range of medical conditions quickly and accurately.


When is a CT Scan Needed?

Your doctor may recommend a CT scan if you have symptoms or conditions such as:

  • Severe headaches or head injuries
  • Chest pain or breathing difficulties
  • Abdominal pain or swelling
  • Suspected tumors or cancers
  • Bone injuries or joint problems
  • Internal bleeding or trauma
  • Monitoring of chronic conditions

CT scans are also useful for guiding certain medical procedures.


✅ Benefits of a CT Scan

  • Fast and Painless: Most scans take less than 10 minutes
  • Accurate Diagnosis: High-resolution images help identify even small problems
  • Non-Invasive: No surgery or recovery time needed
  • Safe: Modern scanners use low radiation doses, and your safety is our priority
