If you are experiencing problems with your right ankle, it is best to see a doctor immediately. NCCT Right Ankle Joint Test is one type of diagnostic test that your health care provider may choose to perform once evaluating an individual for bone or joint injury. City Imaging utilises the most advanced technology-driven computed tomography (CT) equipment to obtain multiple high resolution images of the right ankle joint without the need for the use or injection of contrast dye. Fractures, bone lesions, arthritis, infection, and other conditions that cannot be visualised using traditional x-rays can all be identified with the use of the CT scan, as opposed to using standard plain x-ray images. NCCT Right Ankle Joint Test typically costs between INR 3000 to INR 6000.
A non-contrast CT scan consists of multiple x-ray images at different angle from different views as well as the use of computer processing. CT images created without contrast media show the right ankle joint region.
There are many different slice images that will create 3D images of the right ankle joint. By combining all the CT slices, you can get different angles when inspecting the ankle, making it easier for a physician to detect small abnormal findings when compared with two-dimensional x-ray film, which only provides two-dimensional images of your ankle.

The scan usually takes about five to ten minutes. However, a complete appointment will generally take 15 to 30 minutes.
No, NCCT Right Ankle Joint scans are not painful. Patients must hold still while images are taken to achieve clarity. No injections are done. Therefore, no surgical procedures are done for routine, non-contrast exams.
This examination is valuable for:
Ionizing radiation is utilised in the CT scanning method of obtaining highly defined pictures. Today's CT technology uses technology to improve image quality, while still giving consideration to reducing radiation exposure.
The examining doctors will only advise performing a scan if the anticipated diagnosis is of more value than the risks associated with the exposure. Patients should always tell their doctor if they are, or might be, expectant mothers.
