NCCT Both Ankle

Ankles are one of the most important parts of our bodies - they help with holding your weight and let you walk, run, go upstairs, and keep your balance. People of all ages have common ankle injuries and disorders because we are constantly using our ankles. When doctors need to see the bones of your ankle closely, they will likely order an NCCT Both Ankle scan. At City Imaging, we perform NCCT Both Ankles using the latest CT technology which allows the creation of detailed images of both ankles without using any contrast dye. This type of examination helps doctors accurately diagnose fractures, bone deformities, arthritis, infections and tumours as well as other types of structural issues. The cost of having an NCCT performed is between INR 6000 to INR 12000.

What is an NCCT Both Ankle Test?

NCCT stands for Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT), which is a particular imaging technique in which multiple X-rays are used together with a computer to generate multiple cross-sectional pictures of the ankle.

An NCCT is different from a normal X-ray, which only produces one two-dimensional image of the ankle. An NCCT will provide very fine detail of the body's internal structures by generating multiple thin slices of the body, allowing radiologists and orthopaedic doctors to view the bones and other internal structures from many different angles.

Why is an NCCT Both Ankle Test recommended?

Common reasons include:

• Persistent ankle pain
• Swelling around the ankle joints
• Suspected fractures
• Sports-related injuries
