Physicians order CT scans for a number of different reasons including searching for and assessing: tumours, cysts, kidney stones, and bone injuries. Without CT scans, surgeons would have to perform many needless operations.
In some cases, physicians request that pictures be taken both before and after the contrast material enters the patient's body. Patients who receive contrast material in the arm often report feeling a warm sensation.
Brain, chest, and abdominal CT scans are the most common, though physicians also rely on the CT scanner to guide their needles while draining an abscess or performing a biopsy.
After the information is processed, it is displayed on a monitor for radiologists and physicians to analyse. The information is also saved to keep in a doctor's records and to share and discuss with patients and their family.
NASA's corps of astronauts are pretty fit, and undergo rigorous medical testing, but space tourists and workers could be a lot less healthy. It will most likely fall to physicians to give consent for their patients.
