Leg CT Scan Sydney
CT for the leg is a conventional CT scan of the leg and upper ankle. This specialised CT allows for our doctors to view bones in 3-dimensional detail, this allows for more accurate diagnosis of fractures. Identifying subtle fractures is the most common use for CT scans of the leg.
It is uncommon for CT scans of any extremity to use contrast, if indicated by your referring doctor please see our contrast page.
