CT Scan
 CT scanning - also called CAT scanning - is a non-invasive test that uses special x-ray
equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images of the inside of the
body.
CT scans from a urologic perspective are taken of the abdomen and pelvis. These are
done to determine causes of blood in the urine either grossly or microscopically, recurrent
urinary tract infections, to diagnose or rule out kidney stones, to follow-up for urinary
malignancies, and reveal sources of abdominal pain.
CT scans can be performed simply with x-ray imaging and/or with the use of oral
contrast or intravenous contrast.
Texas Urology offers CT scans in our Lewisville office, performed by a certified CT
technologist. This offers our patients a time savings as they are able to often have the CT
scan and see their physician for results, all within an hour and a half. Our CT scans are
read by a licensed radiologist who provides our physicians with a preliminary report
within one hour. Patients can be provided with a CD copy of  their scan, which they may
keep for their records or for use with other physicians.
