CT Second Opinion
Computed tomography (CT) is a modern imaging procedure that has become an indispensable part of everyday clinical practice. Its goal is to produce two- or three-dimensional images from a large number of X-rays taken at different angles and processed with special computer software.
A particular advantage of CT scans over conventional X-rays is the better imaging of soft tissue structures. Moreover, large areas of the body can be examined in a very short time. A special imaging technique helps avoid the overlapping of organ images that can occur in X-rays, which significantly increases diagnostic accuracy. In addition, the morphological nature of the visualized areas (fluid structure, fatty or normal tissue) can be determined using density measurements.
Computed tomography is often called the βworkhorseβ of radiology. The method is particularly effective for examining the brain, bones and some internal organs (e.g., liver and spleen). Large vessels (aorta) are displayed very well with the help of contrast agent injection. Multispiral CT scans are used for the early detection of lung tumors or calcifications in coronary vessels.
Contrast agents used in CT scans are usually iodine-containing solutions. As a rule, they are well tolerated and are discharged after some time via the kidneys. The contrast is needed to better visualize blood vessels, tumors with an active blood supply, or inflammations.
Can CT scans give a wrong result?
Inaccuracies or even errors are possible if the technical conditions for CT scans are violated. Most often, however, problems are caused by incorrect reading and/or misinterpretation of the imaging data. Sometimes this is due to lack of sufficient qualification of the radiologist. Often the reason lies in ordinary fatigue and loss of attention. Anyway, since this can happen in principle, you should not forget about the existence of such a service as a second opinion on your CT scans.
Why may I need to have my CT findings reviewed?
With a CT second opinion service, an alternative reading and interpretation of available CT images can be obtained.
It might be helpful:
β’ to prove the existing diagnosis;
β’ to confirm indications for further exams, e.g. a biopsy;
β’ to obtain a more detailed description of CT scans;
β’ to make the right choice if there are different opinions regarding the volume of surgery;
β’ to get an opinion of an acknowledged expert whenever the quality of the existing report is doubtful.
An expert radiology second opinion CT scans is a review of imaging diagnostic data with an independent evaluation of the study results. Detailed interpretation and objective conclusions will give confidence and support decision-making at key stages of disease management.
What is a CT second medical opinion?
The consultation outcome is a radiologistβs written report on the CT findings, which may include comments on the quality and informative value of imaging, reading of the scans (a detailed description of what is seen within the study area), conclusions regarding the possible nature of the detected suspicious lesions, neoplasms and other abnormalities. The doctor's second opinion may also include an assessment of dynamics (if previous data are provided for comparison) and recommendations regarding further strategy (additional examination of the discovered pathologic changes, regular follow-ups).
What records do I need to share to get a CT second opinion?
The following data is requested to obtain a reading and an assessment of radiologic study findings:
- files with current CT scans;
- files with the previous study (in case comparative evaluation is necessary);
- anamnesis (in the form of a doctor's report or a completed questionnaire);
- initial CT reading (if the purpose of obtaining a second opinion includes clarification of disputable issues in the available report).
