Kuyini ukuhlolwa kwe-CT? Ingabe kuyinto okufanele uyesabe? Ake sixoxe!

Cishe uke wezwa igama elithi CT Scan. Mhlawumbe udokotela ukutshelile noma othile omaziyo ukuthi akwenze. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi unemibuzo eminingi mayelana nokuthi kuyini ukuhlolwa kwe-CT, kungani kwenziwa, nokuthi kwenzekani phakathi nakho. Ungakhathazeki, sizoxoxa ngakho konke lokhu ngamazwi alula namuhla. Cabanga ngalokhu njengokungathi umngane wakho uyakuchazela.

Kuyini lokhu kuskenwa kwe-CT? Ingabe kuhlobene nekati elincane?

Cha, cha, yize abanye abantu bethi "i-CAT scan" egameni, ayihlangene namakati! I-CT iyisifinyezo samagama amabili athi `(Computed Tomography)` . Ngakho-ke ngenxa yokuthi kulula ukulibiza, abantu abaningi bathi "i-CT scan" noma "i-CAT scan". Kalula nje, i-CT scan iyisivivinyo se-X-ray esikhethekile (i-X-ray). Ngenkathi isithombe se-X-ray esivamile sisivumela ukuthi sibone izinto ezifana namathambo, i-CT scan ingathola isithombe esinemininingwane eminingi nesicacile salokho okungaphakathi emzimbeni wethu. Cabanga nje, uma i-X-ray evamile ifana nesithombe esithathwe ohlangothini olulodwa, i-CT scan isivumela ukuthi sibone izinto ngaphakathi emzimbeni ngezindlela ezintathu (3D), njengezitho zomzimba, izicubu ezithambile, nemithambo yegazi, ezindaweni ezicacile kakhulu. Kufana nokusika isinkwa sibe yizicucu, ungabona okungaphakathi komzimba usike ngesicucu. Lokhu kuwusizo olukhulu kodokotela ukuthola ukuthi siyini ngempela lesi sifo.

Kungani udokotela angakutshela ukuthi wenze i-CT scan?

Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani udokotela angase acele ukuhlolwa kwe-CT. Kufana nomphenyi, osiza ukuthola ukuthi kukhona yini okungahambi kahle emzimbeni wakho. Nazi ezinye izibonelo:

• Uma ulimele : Cabanga ngomuntu ewa ashayeke ekhanda, noma abe nengozi. Uma kunjalo , i-CT scan iyasiza kakhulu ekuboneni ukuthi kukhona yini ukulimala kobuchopho, ukopha, noma amathambo aphukile ngaphakathi kwekhanda. Ingaphinde ibone ukulimala kwezitho zangaphakathi uma kwenzeka ukulimala esifubeni noma esiswini.
• Ubuhlungu obungatholakali: Ngezinye izikhathi, kuvela izinto ezifana nobuhlungu besisu kanye nobuhlungu besifuba, kodwa kunzima ukukhomba imbangela eqondile. Ngemuva kwalokho i-CT scan ingasiza ekutholeni imbangela eqondile yobuhlungu.
• Thola Izifo Nezimila: I-CT scan ingasiza ekunqumeni ukuthi kukhona yini amathumba noma izimila emzimbeni nokuthi zisakazeke kangakanani.
• Izinkinga zemithambo yegazi :Ngezinye izikhathi imithambo yegazi ingavaleka (amahlule egazi) noma imithambo ivuvuke (ama-aneurysms). I-CT scan nayo iwusizo ekutholeni lezi zinto.
• Hlela ukuhlinzwa noma ezinye izindlela zokwelapha: Ngezinye izikhathi i-CT scan yenziwa ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa ukuze kubonakale kangcono indawo. Iphinde isetshenziswe ukusiza ekunqumeni ukuthi imisebe yemisebe kufanele iqondiswe kuphi ngesikhathi sokwelashwa ngemisebe yomdlavuza. Ngezinye izikhathi i-CT scan ingasiza ekuqondiseni ngokunembile ingxenye encane yezicubu ukuze kwenziwe i-biopsy.
• Bona impumelelo yokwelashwa: Lapho belapha isifo esithile, odokotela basebenzisa ne-CT scans ukuze babone ukuthi ukwelashwa kuphumelele yini nokuthi isifo sesiphelile yini.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthi i-CT scan inike udokotela isithombe esicacile senkinga emzimbeni wakho. Lokhu kusiza kakhulu ekwenzeni ukuxilongwa okusheshayo nokunembile.

Lo mshini we-CT scan usebenza kanjani? Ungakuchaza kancane?

Kulungile, manje ake sibone ukuthi kwenzekani ngaphakathi kwalomshini. Wake wawubona umshini we-CT scan? Ufana kancane ne-donut enkulu enembobo phakathi. Abanye abantu bathi ufana nomshini wokuwasha. Okudingeka ukwenze nje ukulala embhedeni okhethekile emshinini. Bese ungena engxenyeni yombhede efana ne-donut. Ngesikhathi usembhedeni, ishubhu le-X-ray ngaphakathi kwe-donut liyajikeleza nxazonke. Njengoba lijikeleza, lithatha izithombe eziningi ze-X-ray ezivela ezinhlangothini ezahlukene. Zonke lezi zithombe zifakwa kukhompyutha, futhi ikhompyutha icubungula lezi zithombe ukuze idale lezo zithombe ezicacile, ezinqamulelayo engizikhulumile ekuqaleni.

Kungani ngezinye izikhathi kunikezwa "udayi ohlukile"?

Kwezinye izikena ze-CT, unikezwa uketshezi olukhethekile olubizwa ngokuthi "i-Contrast Dye" (silubiza ngokuthi "umuthi wombala" ngesiSinhala) ukuze uluphuze noma ulufake emthanjeni engalweni yakho. Ungakhathazeki, lokhu kunikezwa ukuze kwenziwe izitho ezithile zomzimba nemithambo yegazi emzimbeni wakho ibonakale ngokucacile ezithombeni ze-CT. Kufana nokufaka umbala esithombeni ukuze sibukeke sihle futhi sicacile.

• Idayi yokuqhathanisa: Lokhu kuvame ukunikezwa ukubheka izinkinga esiswini noma emathunjini. Kungase kunambitheke ngendlela engajwayelekile kuwe.
• Idayi Yokuqhathanisa: Ungase uzizwe ufudumele kancane uma lokhu kufakwa, futhi ungase ube nokunambitheka kwensimbi emlonyeni wakho. Lokhu kuzophela ngemizuzu embalwa, ngakho ungakhathazeki.

Udokotela uzonquma ukuthi udinga yini ukunikezwa i-"Contrast Dye" noma cha.

Ngingalungiselela kanjani ngaphambi kokuhlolwa kwe-CT?

Kunezinto ezimbalwa okudingeka uzazi futhi uzenze ngaphambi kokuya ku-CT scan.

• Izinto okufanele uzitshele udokotela:
• Ingabe unesifo sokungezwani komzimba?(ikakhulukazi uma uke waba ne-allergy ku-iodine noma kunoma iyiphi i-`(Contrast Dye)` yangaphambilini).
• Ingabe ukhulelwe noma uzama ukukhulelwa? Ngoba ama-CT scan avame ukwenziwa ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, ngaphandle uma kudingeka ngempela.
• Ingabe uyancelisa ?
• Ingabe unenkinga yezinso ?
• Ingabe unesifo sikashukela (i-Diabetes Mellitus) futhi ingabe uthatha imithi efana ne-Metformin yaso?
• Uma okwamanje uthatha noma yimiphi eminye imithi, amavithamini, noma imithi yamakhambi, sicela usitshele ngayo futhi.
• Ukudla Neziphuzo: Ezinye izikena ze-CT zingadinga ukuthi ungadli noma uphuze lutho amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokuskena. Uzokwaziswa ngalokhu kusenesikhathi. Ungaphuza amanzi njengokujwayelekile.
• Izingubo: Gqoka izingubo ezilula nezikhululekile ngosuku lokuskena. Uma unezinto zensimbi emzimbeni wakho (njengobucwebe, amawashi, amabhande, izingwegwe zensimbi ezigqoke izingubo zangaphansi), kuzodingeka uzisuse. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izinto zensimbi ngeke ziveze izithombe ze-CT ezicacile. Ungase unikezwe ingubo yisibhedlela ukuze uyigqoke.

Kwenzekani ngesikhathi sokuskena? Ingabe kubuhlungu?

Cha, awuzwa ubuhlungu ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwe-CT. Yilokho okubaluleke kakhulu. Ngemva kokulala embhedeni, uchwepheshe uzokubeka kahle. Ngemuva kwalokho umbhede uzongena ngqo emshinini. Okudingeka ukwenze nje ukuhlala unganyakazi ngangokunokwenzeka. Kufana nokuzama ukuhlala unganyakazi lapho uthatha isithombe. Ngoba uma ulala phansi, izithombe ngeke ziphume zicacile.

• Kungase kube nomsindo omncane (ukuchofoza, imisindo ejikelezayo) ngenkathi umshini usebenza. Ungakhathazeki ngalokho.
• Ngezinye izikhathi uzocelwa ukuthi ubambe umoya wakho isikhashana . Lokho kusiza futhi ukuthola izithombe ezicacile.
• Uchwepheshe uzobe elinde wena ekamelweni elihlukile, futhi angakhuluma nawe (nge-intercom). Uma uzizwa ungakhululekile, sicela umazise.

Isivivinyo sonke singathatha imizuzu eyi-10 kuya kwengama-30 . Kodwa-ke, ukuskena kwangempela kuthatha isikhathi esincane kakhulu. Iningi laso lichithwa ukulungiselela nokukubeka endaweni efanele.

Wenzani uma ukuskena sekuqediwe?

Uma ukuskena sekuphelile, ungavuka njengenjwayelo, ushintshe izingubo, bese uya ekhaya.

• Uma uke wajova idayi yokuhlukanisa umbala, uzotshelwa ukuthi uphuze amanzi amaningi ukuze iphume emzimbeni wakho ngokushesha.
• Kungathatha usuku noma ezimbili ukuthi imiphumela yokuskena ibuye. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi udokotela we-radiologist kufanele abheke izithombe ngokucophelela, adale umbiko, bese ewuthumela kudokotela wakho. Udokotela wakho uzobe esebheka umbiko bese ekutshela imininingwane.

Ingabe zikhona izingozi nge-CT scan?

Njenganoma yikuphi ukuhlolwa kwezokwelapha, i-CT scan ingaba nezingozi ezithile. Kodwa-ke,Udokotela uzokunikeza i-CT scan kuphela uma enomuzwa wokuthi izinzuzo zakho zidlula kakhulu izingozi.

• Ukukhishwa kwemisebe: Njengoba i-CT scan isebenzisa ama-X-ray, ukhishwa imisebe encane. Kodwa leli nani lincane kakhulu, futhi lingaphakathi kwemingcele ephephile. Odokotela bakhathazekile kakhulu ngalokhu. Eqinisweni, sikhishwa imisebe ethile evela endaweni yethu yansuku zonke (ukukhanya kwelanga, imisebe evela emhlabathini). Inani lemisebe elitholwa ngesikhathi se-CT scan lingalingana nenani lemisebe elitholwa endaweni esikuyo isilinganiso sonyaka owodwa kuya kwemibili. Ukuthola i-CT scan kaningi akukuhle, kodwa ukuyenza lapho kudingeka akuyona inkinga enkulu.
• Ukungezwani Nombala Ohlukile: Lokhu akwenzeki kaningi, kodwa abanye abantu bangase babe nokusabela okuncane kokungezwani nombala (njengokuqubuka) kudayi we-Contrast. Ukusabela okukhulu kokungezwani nombala akuvamile kakhulu. Abasebenzi bezokwelapha baqeqeshwe ukubhekana nezimo ezinjalo. Uma uke waba nokusabela kokungezwani nombala kudayi we-Contrast, qiniseka ukuthi utshela udokotela wakho .
• Kwabomama abakhulelwe nezingane ezincane: Ukuskena kwe-CT kwenziwa kuphela komama abakhulelwe uma kudingeka ngempela. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukuskena ngemisebe akulungile enganeni esibelethweni. Uma ukuskena kwe-CT kwenziwa ezinganeni ezincane, inani lemisebe esetshenziswayo liyancishiswa ukuze livumelane nemizimba yazo.

Khumbula, uma unemibuzo noma ukungabaza mayelana ne-CT scan, khuluma nodokotela noma uchwepheshe owenza i-scan bese uchaza lokho. Bazokusiza.

Ngakho-ke yiziphi izinzuzo ze-CT scan?

Ngaphezu kokukhuluma ngezingozi, kunezinzuzo eziningi zokuhlolwa kwe-CT. Yingakho odokotela bekusebenzisa.

• Izithombe ezicacile kakhulu nezinemininingwane: Ingathatha izithombe ezicacile zezitho zomzimba, amathambo, izicubu ezithambile, kanye nemithambo yegazi emzimbeni. Lokhu kuwusizo olukhulu ekwenzeni ukuxilongwa okunembile .
• Ukuhlolwa okusheshayo nokungenabuhlungu: Ukuskena akunabuhlungu. Kungenziwa futhi ngokushesha. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekutholeni ngokushesha ukulimala esimweni esiphuthumayo.
• Kusiza ekuvimbeleni ukuhlinzwa: Ngezinye izikhathi ukuhlinzwa kuyadingeka ukuze kutholakale isifo. Kodwa uma i-CT scan ingasithola lesi sifo kusenesikhathi, kungase kwenzeke ukugwema ukuhlinzwa.
• Kusiza ekuhleleni ukwelashwa: Lapho welapha izifo ezifana nomdlavuza (ukuhlinzwa, ukwelashwa ngemisebe), izithombe ze-CT ziyasiza ekuhleleni ukwelashwa ngendlela efanele.
• Ingabuka izinhlobo ezahlukene zezicubu ngesikhathi esisodwa: I-CT scan eyodwa ingabuka izinto ezahlukene ngesikhathi esisodwa, njengamathambo, izicubu ezithambile, kanye nemithambo yegazi.

Okokugcina, izinto okufanele uzikhumbule (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Kulungile, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi usunomqondo omuhle nge-CT scan.

Ngamafuphi, i-CT scan iyisivivinyo sezokwelapha esibaluleke kakhulu esibonisa ngokucacile ukuthi kwenzekani emzimbeni wakho. Lokhu kusiza odokotela ukuthi baxilonge isimo sakho ngokushesha nangokunembile, futhi bakunikeze ukwelashwa okufanele.

Yebo, ubhekene nenani elincane lemisebe, kodwa udokotela uyayinikeza ngoba uyazi ukuthi izinzuzo zakho zidlula kakhulu izingozi . Uma unemibuzo ngalokhu, ungesabi ukubuza udokotela wakho. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela impilo yakho! Ngakho-ke, ngesikhathi esizayo wena noma othile omaziyo ecelwa ukuba enze i-CT scan, ungesabi ngokungadingekile. Khumbula ukuthi lokhu kungokwenzuzo yakho. I-CT scan, i-CAT scan, i-computed tomography, i-X-ray, i-radiation, ukuxilongwa, izivivinyo zezokwelapha
