The CT Ankle (Plain) scan at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a high-resolution imaging technique designed to provide detailed visualization of the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the ankle. This advanced scan plays a crucial role in diagnosing fractures, ligament injuries, arthritis, joint abnormalities, and other ankle-related conditions with exceptional accuracy.

A CT Ankle (Plain) scan is particularly useful for detecting subtle fractures, bone deformities, dislocations, stress injuries, and degenerative joint diseases that may not be clearly visible on standard X-rays. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the tibia, fibula, talus, calcaneus, and surrounding structures, helping doctors determine the extent of injuries or abnormalities affecting the ankle joint.

This scan is highly recommended for individuals experiencing persistent ankle pain, swelling, stiffness, difficulty in movement, instability, or suspected fractures due to sports injuries, accidents, or repetitive stress. It is also an essential imaging tool for evaluating conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendon abnormalities, post-surgical healing, and complications related to previous injuries.

During the procedure, the patient lies on the CT scanner table while multiple cross-sectional images of the ankle are captured. Unlike contrast-enhanced scans, CT Ankle (Plain) does not require an intravenous contrast dye, making it a safe and efficient imaging option for patients who may have allergies to contrast agents or those who do not require vascular assessment. The scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive, typically completed within a few minutes, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately afterward.
