Ingaba ugqirha ukuxelele ukuba wenze i-CT Scan? Masifumanise ngale nto ngokulula! (CT Scan)

Mhlawumbi xa ugqirha wakho ekunika i-CT scan, waziva usoyika kwaye unomdla. Mhlawumbi wawunemibuzo emininzi engqondweni yakho, efana nokuthi, 'Yintoni le CT scan?', 'Ingaba yinto enkulu le?', 'Ingaba iza kuba buhlungu?' Ungakhathazeki, kuyinto eqhelekileyo. Namhlanje, siza kuthetha ngale CT scan ngendlela elula kakhulu, ngendlela onokuyiqonda.

Yintoni i-CT scan?

Ngamafutshane, i-CT scan luvavanyo olukhethekileyo lwe-X-ray olunokuvelisa imifanekiso ecacileyo yezitho zomzimba, amathambo, kunye nezinye izicwili emzimbeni wakho. Lunokuvelisa imifanekiso eneenkcukacha ezininzi kunefilimu ye-X-ray eqhelekileyo.

Cinga ngesonka. Xa sinqumla isonka sibe ziingceba, sinokubona ngokucacileyo ukuba yintoni engaphakathi kwesilayi ngasinye, akunjalo? I-CT scan yenza into efanayo. Ithatha imifanekiso emininzi enqamlezileyo yelungu lomzimba wakho. Emva koko ikhompyutha idibanisa yonke loo mifanekiso ukuze yenze umfanekiso onemilinganiselo emithathu (3D) wento engaphakathi emzimbeni wakho. Oogqirha bayibiza le Computed Tomography . Le ndlela ivumela ugqirha ukuba ajonge emzimbeni ukuze abone kanye ukuba yintoni engaphakathi, njengethumba, ukwaphuka, okanye enye ingxaki.

I-CT, i-MRI, i-PET... Ezi ntlobo ze-scan zahluke njani kwenye?

Usenokuba ukhe weva ngezinye iintlobo ze-scan, ezifana ne-MRI kunye ne-PET. Ezi zahlukile kwenye kwenye. Ugqirha wakho uza kukhetha uhlobo lwe-scan olufanelekileyo ngokwemeko yakho. Makhe sijonge umahluko ophambili phakathi kwezi.

Yenziwa njani i-CT scan?

I-CT scan idla ngokwenziwa esibhedlele okanye kwikliniki ye-radiology.

1. Ukulungiselela: Ugqirha wakho uza kukuxelela ukuba ungatyi okanye usele iiyure ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba uhlolwe. Ungacelwa ukuba unxibe ilokhwe ekhethekileyo ebonelelwe yisibhedlele kwaye ususe zonke izinto zokuhombisa zesinyithi, ezifana namacici kunye neentsimbi zomqala.

2. Ngexesha lokuskena: Ingcali ye-radiology yenza olu vavanyo. Uza kulala etafileni ehambahamba kumatshini omkhulu, omile okwedonathi. Njengoko itafile ihambahamba kumatshini, umatshini we-X-reyi ujikeleza umzimba wakho, uthatha imifanekiso. Kuqhelekile ukuva isandi esithi "whoosh... whoosh..." ngeli xesha.

3. Hlala uthule: Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuhlala ungashukumi ngexesha lokuskena. Ukuba uyashukuma, imifanekiso isenokuba ayicacanga. Yiyo loo nto unokucelwa ukuba ubambe umphefumlo wakho okwethutyana.

Yintoni i-CT scan ene-'contrast'?

Kwezinye iimeko, ugqirha wakho unokucela ukuba wenze i-CT scan usebenzisa ulwelo olukhethekileyo olubizwa ngokuba yi-``Contrast''.

Ii-CT scan zibonisa iindawo eziqinileyo zomzimba wethu, njengamathambo, ngokucacileyo. Kodwa izicubu ezithambileyo ezifana nesibindi, izintso, kunye nemithambo yegazi zisenokungacaci kangako. Olu lwelo "oluchaseneyo" lufana nombala weendawo zomfanekiso omnyama nomhlophe ukuze lubonakale lubalasele. Xa olu lwelo lungena emzimbeni, luvala imisebe ye-X-ray kwaye lubonakale lumhlophe kumfanekiso we-scan. Emva koko, ezo zitho zinokubonakala ngokucacileyo.

Kukho iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokungenisa olu lwelo ``(Contrast)`` emzimbeni:

• Inaliti: Inaliti emthanjeni. Le ndlela isetyenziselwa ukuhlola izinto ezifana nemithambo yegazi, inkqubo yomchamo, kunye nesibindi.
• Ngomlomo: Inikwa njengolwelo lokusela. Oku kunceda ukunyanga inkqubo yokwetyisa, njengesisu namathumbu.
• Njenge-enema: Ukuba amathumbu amakhulu ayaskenwa, afakwa emzimbeni nge-anus.

Emva kokuskena, ugqirha wakho uya kukucebisa ukuba usele amanzi amaninzi ukunceda ukukhupha ulwelo oluchasene ne-contrast emzimbeni wakho.

Ngaba kukho naziphi na iingozi okanye iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga koku?

Njengalo naluphi na uvavanyo lwezonyango, i-CT scan inokuba neengozi ezincinci kakhulu. Nangona kunjalo, ugqirha uya kuyiyalela le vavanyo kuba iingenelo zovavanyo zingaphezulu kakhulu kuneengozi.

• Ukukhanya: I-CT scan isebenzisa uhlobo lwemitha ebizwa ngokuba yi-"ionizing radiation." Uphando lubonisa ukuba ukuvezwa kwiidosi eziphezulu zale mitha ixesha elide kunokunyusa umngcipheko womhlaza. Nangona kunjalo, ubungakanani bemitha efunyenwe kwi-CT scan enye buncinci kakhulu. Ke ngoko, umngcipheko wokuba nomhlaza uphantsi kakhulu (malunga ne-1 kwi-2,000 yeemeko, ngokwezifundo). Ugqirha wakho uyazi ngalo mngcipheko, ngoko ke uya kuyalela i-CT scan kuphela ukuba kuyimfuneko.
• Abafazi abakhulelweyo nabantwana: Ukuba ukhulelwe, qiniseka ukuba uxelele ugqirha wakho. Ukuba ufuna ukuhlola indawo yesisu, unokukhetha enye indlela, efana ne-ultrasound scan, engasebenzisi imitha. Xa uskena abantwana abancinci, umthamo wemitha uyancitshiswa ukuze ulungele bona.
• Ii-Allergy to Contrast: Abanye abantu banokuba ne-allergy kwi-contrast dye. Uninzi lwexesha, ezi zizinto ezincinci ezifana nokurhawuzelelwa okanye ukuba bomvu. Amaxesha amaninzi, i-allergy enzima inokwenzeka. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, abasebenzi baya kukujonga okwethutyana emva kokuba unikwe i-contrast dye. Ukuba une-allergy kwizilwanyana zaselwandle, i-iodine, okanye amanye amayeza, xelela ugqirha wakho kwangaphambili.
• Ezinye iimeko zempilo: Kubaluleke kakhulu ukwazisa ugqirha wakho ukuba unesifo sezintso okanye usela iyeza le- metformin yesifo seswekile.

Ixabisa malini i-CT scan?

Ixabiso le-CT scan liyahluka ngokweendawo.

• Izibhedlele zikarhulumente: Olu vavanyo lunokwenziwa simahla okanye ngexabiso eliphantsi kakhulu kwisibhedlele sikarhulumente, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kusenokufuneka ulinde kuluhlu lokulinda.
• Izibhedlele Zabucala: Ixabiso lesibhedlele sabucala linokusukela kumawaka ukuya kumakhulu amawaka ee-rupees. Le mali ixhomekeke kwisibhedlele apho kwenziwa khona iskeni, inxalenye yomzimba eskeniweyo, kunye nokuba kusetyenziswa ulwelo lokwahlulahlula okanye hayi.

Kungcono ubuze esibhedlele malunga neendleko ngaphambi kokuba uvavanywe. Ungathetha nogqirha wakho ngale nto.
