CT Scan of Left Shoulder Joint Price in Bangladesh

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
