Ua haʻi aku anei ke kauka iā ʻoe e hana i kahi CT Scan? E ʻike kākou e pili ana i kēia me ka maʻalahi! (CT Scan)

Malia paha i ka wā i kuhikuhi ai kāu kauka i kahi CT scan nou, ua manaʻo iki ʻoe i ka makaʻu a me ka hoihoi. He nui paha kāu mau nīnau i loko o kou manaʻo, e like me, 'He aha kēia CT scan?', 'He mea nui anei kēia?', 'E ʻeha anei?' Mai hopohopo, he mea maʻamau loa ia. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kēia CT scan ma ke ʻano maʻalahi loa, ma ke ʻano hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo.

He aha ke kiʻi CT?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he hoʻāʻo X-ray kūikawā ka CT scan e hiki ke hana i nā kiʻi maopopo loa o nā ʻōpū, nā iwi, a me nā ʻiʻo ʻē aʻe i loko o kou kino. Hiki iā ia ke hana i nā kiʻi kikoʻī loa ma mua o kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni X-ray maʻamau.

E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kahi ʻāpana berena. Ke ʻoki mākou i kahi ʻāpana berena i mau ʻāpana, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike maopopo i ka mea i loko o kēlā me kēia ʻāpana, ʻeā? Hana ka CT scan i kahi mea like. Lawe ia i nā kiʻi ʻokiʻoki he nui (nā ʻāpana) o kahi ʻāpana o kou kino. A laila hoʻohui kahi kamepiula i kēlā mau kiʻi āpau e hana i kahi kiʻi ʻekolu-dimensional (3D) o ka mea i loko o kou kino. Kāhea nā kauka i kēia ʻo Computed Tomography . ʻAe kēia ʻano hana i ke kauka e nānā a puni ke kino e ʻike pono i ka mea i loko, e like me ka puʻupuʻu, ka haki, a i ʻole kekahi pilikia ʻē aʻe.

CT, MRI, PET... Pehea ka ʻokoʻa o kēia mau ʻano scan kekahi i kekahi?

Ua lohe paha ʻoe i nā ʻano scan ʻē aʻe, e like me MRI a me PET. He ʻokoʻa kēia mau mea kekahi i kekahi. E koho kāu kauka i ke ʻano scan kūpono loa ma muli o kou kūlana. E nānā kākou i nā ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o kēia mau mea.

Pehea e hana ʻia ai kahi scan CT?

Hana pinepine ʻia kahi CT scan ma kahi haukapila a i ʻole keʻena radiology.

1. Hoʻomākaukau: E haʻi aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe e pale i ka ʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka inu ʻana no kekahi mau hola ma mua o ke scan. Hiki ke noi ʻia ʻoe e ʻaʻahu i kahi lole kūikawā i hāʻawi ʻia e ka haukapila a wehe i nā mea hoʻonani metala āpau, e like me nā apo pepeiao a me nā lei.

2. I ka wā o ke scan: Hana kekahi loea radiology i kēia hoʻāʻo. E moe ʻoe ma luna o kahi papa e neʻe ana ma o kahi mīkini nui, ʻano donut. I ka neʻe ʻana o ka papa ma o ka mīkini, e hoʻohuli ana ka mīkini X-ray a puni kou kino, e kiʻi ana i nā kiʻi. He mea maʻamau ka lohe ʻana i kahi leo "whoosh... whoosh..." i kēia manawa.

3. E noho mālie: ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ke noho mālie i ka wā o ke kiʻi ʻana. Inā ʻoe e neʻe, hiki ke palalulu nā kiʻi. ʻO ia ke kumu e noi ʻia ai ʻoe e paʻa i kou hanu no kekahi manawa.

He aha ka CT scan me ka 'contrast'?

I kekahi mau hihia, e noi paha kāu kauka iā ʻoe e hana i kahi scan CT me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi wai kūikawā i kapa ʻia ʻo "Contrast".

Hōʻike maopopo nā scan CT i nā ʻāpana paʻa o ko kākou kino, e like me nā iwi. Akā, ʻaʻole paha e maopopo loa nā ʻiʻo palupalu e like me ke akepaʻa, nā puʻupaʻa, a me nā kīʻaha koko. Ua like kēia wai "Contrast" me ke kala ʻana i nā ʻāpana o kahi kiʻi ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou. Ke komo kēia wai i loko o ke kino, pale ia i nā kukuna X-ray a ʻike ʻia he keʻokeʻo ma ke kiʻi scan. A laila, hiki ke ʻike maopopo ʻia kēlā mau ʻōkana.

Aia kekahi mau ala e hoʻokomo ai i kēia wai "(Contrast)" i loko o ke kino:

• ʻIniki: He ʻiniki i loko o kahi aʻa koko. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia ʻano hana e nānā i nā mea e like me nā kīʻaha koko, ka ʻōnaehana mimi, a me ke akepaʻa.
• Ma ka waha: Hāʻawi ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he wai e inu ai. Kōkua kēia i ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe, e like me ka ʻōpū a me nā naʻau.
• Ma ke ʻano he enema: Inā e nānā ʻia ana ka ʻōpū nui, e hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ke kino ma o ka anus.

Ma hope o ke scan, e aʻo aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe e inu i ka wai he nui e kōkua i ka hoʻokahe ʻana i ka wai hoʻohālikelike mai kou kino aku.

Aia kekahi mau pilikia a i ʻole nā ​​hopena ʻaoʻao i kēia?

E like me nā hoʻokolohua lapaʻau āpau, hiki i kahi scan CT ke lawe i nā pilikia liʻiliʻi loa. Eia nō naʻe, e kauoha ke kauka i kēia hoʻokolohua no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pono o ka hoʻokolohua ma mua o nā pilikia.

• Pāhawewe: Hoʻohana ka CT scan i kahi ʻano pāhawewe i kapa ʻia ʻo "ionizing radiation." Hōʻike ka noiʻi ʻana e hiki i ka hōʻike ʻana i nā nui kiʻekiʻe o kēia pāhawewe i kahi manawa lōʻihi ke hoʻonui i ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa. Eia nō naʻe, he liʻiliʻi loa ka nui o ka pāhawewe i loaʻa mai kahi CT scan hoʻokahi. No laila, he haʻahaʻa loa ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi kanesa (ma kahi o 1 i 2,000 mau hihia, e like me nā noiʻi). Ua ʻike kāu kauka i kēia pilikia, no laila e kauoha wale ʻo ia i kahi CT scan inā pono loa.
• Nā wahine hāpai a me nā keiki: Inā hāpai ʻoe, e hōʻoia e haʻi i kāu kauka. Inā pono ʻoe e nānā i ka ʻōpū, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke koho i kahi koho ʻē aʻe, e like me ka ultrasound scan, ʻaʻole hoʻohana i ka radiation. I ke scan ʻana i nā keiki ʻōpio, ua hoʻemi ʻia ka nui o ka radiation e kūpono iā lākou.
• Nā Allergies i ka Contrast: Loaʻa paha i kekahi poʻe kahi hopena allergies i ka dye contrast. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, he mau mea liʻiliʻi kēia e like me ka maneʻo a i ʻole ka ʻulaʻula. He mea kākaʻikahi loa, hiki ke loaʻa kahi hopena allergies koʻikoʻi. No kēia kumu, e nānā nā limahana iā ʻoe no kekahi manawa ma hope o ka hāʻawi ʻia ʻana o ka dye contrast. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau allergies i nā meaʻai kai, iodine, a i ʻole nā ​​​​lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe, e haʻi mua i kāu kauka.
• Nā kūlana olakino ʻē aʻe: He mea nui loa e hoʻomaopopo i kāu kauka inā he maʻi puʻupaʻa kou a ke lawe nei paha ʻoe i ka lāʻau metformin no ka maʻi diabetes.

ʻEhia ke kumukūʻai o kahi scan CT?

ʻOkoʻa ke kumukūʻai o kahi scan CT mai kēlā wahi a i kēia wahi.

• Nā haukapila aupuni: Hiki ke hana ʻia kēia hoʻokolohua no ka manuahi a i ʻole ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa loa ma kahi haukapila aupuni, akā i kekahi manawa pono ʻoe e kali ma kahi papa inoa kali.
• Nā Halemai Pilikino: Hiki ke piʻi ke kumukūʻai ma kahi haukapila pilikino mai nā tausani a i nā haneli haneli o nā rupees. Aia kēia nui i ka haukapila kahi e hana ʻia ai ke scan, ka ʻāpana o ke kino e scan ʻia ana, a inā paha e hoʻohana ʻia ka wai hoʻohālikelike.

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nīnau ʻana i ka haukapila e pili ana i ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka hana ʻana i ka hoʻāʻo. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia.
