QUESTION 12 OF 30

What were the most common patient injuries or illnesses you used CT scans for?

From scanning heart abnormalities to pneumonia, CT scans can be used for a number of things. Don't stretch the truth and state that you've scanned complex tumors because you might be asked to elaborate on it. Simply state what common injuries or illnesses you've seen and that you look forward to utilizing your training for more complex cases.

"The most common injury that I've seen CT scans used for were complex bone fractures since it usually produces more detail than would be possible with a conventional x-ray."

Anonymous Answer

Working in a trauma centre, I often see patients head over to CT after their initial x-rays are taken to get their head, abdomen, and pelvis scanned. Having a CT scan on top of an x-ray helps to find any pathologies x-ray may have missed and is often used to plan out OR cases when they are needed.
