Nō reira, nā te mea he māmā ake te kī, he tokomaha e kī ana ko te "CT scan" ko te "CAT scan" rānei. He whakarāpopototanga noa iho, he whakamātautau hihi-X motuhake te CT scan. Ahakoa mā te whakaahua hihi-X noa ka taea e tātou te kite i ngā mea pēnei i te wheua, ka taea e te CT scan te tiki pikitia mārama ake, taipitopito ake o ngā mea kei roto i tō tātou tinana. Whakaarohia, mēnā he rite te hihi-X noa ki te whakaahua i tangohia mai i tetahi taha, mā te CT scan ka taea e tātou te kite i ngā mea kei roto i te tinana i roto i ngā āhuatanga e toru (3D), pēnei i ngā whekau, ngā kiko ngohengohe, me ngā uaua toto, i roto i ngā wāhanga whakawhiti tino mārama. He rite ki te tapahi i tētahi taro kia poro, ka taea e koe te kite i ngā mea kei roto i te tinana poro i ia poro. He āwhina nui tēnei mā ngā tākuta ki te rapu i te tino take o te mate.

He aha te take e kī ai te tākuta kia mahia he matawai CT?

He maha ngā take e tono ai te tākuta i tētahi matawai CT. He rite ki tētahi kaitirotiro, e āwhina ana ki te kimi mēnā he hapa kei roto i tō tinana. Anei ētahi tauira:

• Whakamaherehia he pokanga, he maimoatanga rānei: I ētahi wā ka mahia he matawai CT i mua i te pokanga kia pai ake ai te tirotiro i te wāhi. Ka whakamahia hoki hei āwhina i te whakatau ko tēhea te wāhi e tika ana kia anga atu ai te hihi irahiko i te wā e rongoatia ana te mate pukupuku. I ētahi wā ka āwhina te matawai CT ki te arotahi tika ki tētahi wahi kiko iti mō te koiora.
• Tirohia te angitu o ngā maimoatanga: I te wā e rongoatia ana tētahi mate, ka whakamahia hoki e ngā tākuta ngā matawai CT hei tirotiro mēnā kei te angitu te maimoatanga, ā, mēnā kua memeha te mate.

Ko te mea nui ko te mārama o te tirohanga a te tākuta mā te matawai CT mō te raruraru o roto i tō tinana. He tino āwhina tēnei ki te whakatau tere me te tika i te mate.

He pēhea te mahi a tēnei mīhini matawai CT? Ka taea e koe te whakamārama mai?

I a koe e noho ana i runga i te moenga, ka huri te ngongo hihi-X i roto i te tōnati huri noa i a koe. I a ia e huri ana, ka tangohia he maha ngā pikitia hihi-X mai i ngā koki rerekē. Ka whāngaihia ēnei pikitia katoa ki roto i te rorohiko, ā, ka tukatukahia e te rorohiko ēnei pikitia hei hanga i aua pikitia mārama, whakawhiti-wāhanga i kōrerotia e au i mua ake nei.

He aha i hoatu ai he "tae rerekē" i ētahi wā?

I ētahi matawai CT, ka hoatu he wai motuhake e kiia nei ko te "Contrast Dye" (e kiia ana e mātou ko te "rongoā tae" i te reo Sinhala) hei inu, hei werohanga rānei ki roto i tētahi uaua i roto i tō ringa. Kaua e manukanuka, ka hoatu tēnei hei whakamārama ake i ētahi okana me ngā uaua toto i roto i tō tinana i runga i ngā whakaahua CT.

Nā te mea kāore e taea e ngā mea whakarewa te whakaputa i ngā whakaahua CT mārama. Tērā pea ka hoatu he kākahu māu e te hōhipera hei kakahu māu.

He aha te mea ka tupu i te wā o te matawai? He mamae?

Kāo, kāore koe e mamae i te wā o te CT scan. Koinei te mea nui rawa atu. Whai muri i tō takoto ki runga i te moenga, ka whakanoho tika te tohunga hangarau i a koe. Kātahi ka tika te moenga ki roto i te mīhini. Ko tāu noa he noho puku i te wā e taea ana. He rite ki te ngana ki te noho puku i te wā e tango whakaahua ana. Nā te mea ki te takoto koe, kāore ngā pikitia e puta mārama.

I te nuinga o te wā , e 10 ki te 30 meneti te roa o te whakamātautau katoa. Heoi, he iti ake te wā e pau ana i te matawai tuturu. Ko te nuinga o te wā e pau ana ki te whakarite me te whakanoho tika i a koe.

Ka aha koe ina oti te matawai?

Kia mutu te matawai, ka taea e koe te ara ake pērā i ngā wā katoa, te whakawhiti kākahu, ka hoki ki te kāinga.

He aha ngā mōrearea o te matawai CT?

Pērā i ngā whakamātautau hauora katoa, tera pea ētahi mōrearea o te matawai CT. Heoi anō,Ka tohua e te tākuta he matawai CT māu mēnā ki tā rātou whakaaro he nui ake ngā painga ki a koe i ngā mōrearea.

• Irahiko: Nā te mea he iti noa ngā hihi-X e whakamahia ana e te matawai CT, ka pāngia koe e te iti o te hihi. Engari he iti rawa tēnei nui, ā, kei roto i ngā rohe haumaru. He nui te āwangawanga o ngā tākuta mō tēnei. Inaa, ka pāngia tātou e te iti o te hihi mai i tō tātou taiao o ia rā (te hihi o te rā, te hihi mai i te whenua). Ko te nui o te hihi e whiwhihia ana i te wā o te matawai CT ka rite ki te nui o te hihi e whiwhihia ana mai i te taiao mō te toharite o te kotahi ki te rua tau. Ehara i te mea pai te whiwhi i te matawai CT i ngā wā maha rawa, engari ehara i te mea he raruraru nui te mahi i te wā e tika ana.
• Mate pāwera ki te Tae Whakarerekē: Kāore i te tino kitea tēnei i ngā wā katoa, engari tera pea ētahi tāngata ka pāngia e te mate pāwera ngawari (pēnei i te ponana) ki te Tae Whakarerekē. He tino onge te mate pāwera kino. Kua whakangungua ngā kaimahi hauora ki te whakahaere i ēnei āhuatanga.

Ina mahia ngā karapa CT mō ngā tamariki nohinohi, ka whakaitihia te nui o te irahiko e whakamahia ana kia rite ki ō rātou tinana.

Kia maumahara, ki te mea he āwangawanga, he ruarua rānei āu mō te matawai CT, kōrero ki te tākuta, ki te tohunga hangarau rānei e mahi ana i te matawai, me te whakamārama atu i aua āwangawanga. Mā rātou koe e āwhina.

Nā, he aha ngā painga o te matawai CT?

Haunga ngā mōrearea, he maha anō hoki ngā painga o te matawai CT. Koia te take e whakamahia ai tēnei e ngā tākuta.
