Common CT Scan Applications
CT imaging is commonly performed in Singapore for the following diagnostic purposes:
Brain & Head CT
Detects bleeding, tumors, skull fractures, or signs of stroke.Chest CT
Evaluates lung conditions such as pneumonia, lung nodules, and pulmonary embolism. Low-dose chest CT is often used in lung cancer screening.Abdomen & Pelvis CT
Assesses abdominal pain, organ enlargement, tumors, infections, and urinary tract issues.Cardiac CT (Coronary Angiogram)
Visualizes coronary arteries to check for blockages and plaque buildup.CT Angiography
Used to evaluate blood vessels in various parts of the body, including the brain, neck, and limbs.Bone & Joint CT
Helps detect complex fractures and joint abnormalities not easily seen on regular X-rays.Sinus & Dental CT
Provides detailed images of sinus structures and jawbone — often used in surgical planning or dental implant evaluation.
How CT Scanning Works
CT scanners use a rotating X-ray machine and a computer to create detailed, layered images of the body. In many cases, a contrast dye may be administered orally or via injection to enhance visibility of blood vessels or soft tissues. The procedure typically takes 5 to 30 minutes depending on the scan type.
CT Scan Safety and Considerations
CT scans involve exposure to ionizing radiation, but the doses are generally low and considered safe for most patients. However, medical professionals in Singapore typically weigh the benefits of the scan against any potential risks, especially in children or pregnant patients.
If contrast is used, patients may be asked about allergies or kidney function to ensure safe administration.
CT Scan Cost in Singapore
CT scan prices in Singapore typically range from $300+ to $3,000+, depending on the area scanned, use of contrast, and whether the scan is done in a public or private healthcare setting. Public hospitals may offer subsidised rates for eligible Singaporeans and PRs.
