Understanding NCCT Scan Hand

What is NCCT Scan Hand?

Non-contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique for identifying any anatomical defect or unexplained pain in hand, a bone fracture that is not visible in normal X-ray, infection/osteoporosis/deformity/arthritis, soft tissue inflammation in muscles, ligaments or tendons, or abnormal bone growth.

In the NCCT hand, rotating X-ray beams are used to generate a three-dimensional image of the hand that can be used to identify bone defects. Since the technique is based on X-ray usage, pregnant women should inform their doctor before the test as exposure to the X-rays can be harmful to the fetus. NCCT hand is a painless test. The X-rays can be detrimental to young children as well.
