Comprehensive CT Capabilities at Polyclinic.ae

At Polyclinic.ae, all diagnostic services are available in one place — CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and X-ray.

Computed Tomography (CT) is a modern, highly detailed, and fast imaging method that provides cross-sectional views of internal organs, bones, vessels, and soft tissues.

We perform all major types of CT scans — including head, neck, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, joints, soft tissues, and vascular studies.

Our clinic is equipped with the latest SINOVISION CT scanner, offering exceptional image quality with minimal radiation exposure.

Scans are performed with or without contrast, depending on clinical indications.

CT helps detect injuries, inflammations, tumors, vascular diseases, lung and bone pathologies, and internal organ disorders.

We also provide CT angiography and DEXA vascular scans, which allow detailed evaluation of arteries and veins — essential for diagnosing stenosis, thrombosis, and circulatory issues.

All procedures are performed safely and comfortably under the supervision of experienced radiologists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CT and MRI?
CT is best for diagnosing bones, lungs, and blood vessels, while MRI is more suited for soft tissues, the brain, joints, and the nervous system.
Is CT safe?
Yes. The SINOVISION scanner provides precise imaging with minimal radiation exposure.
Do I need a referral?
Yes. A doctor’s referral is required to determine the scan area and contrast indication.
Is CT covered by insurance?
Yes, if prescribed and pre-approved by your insurance provider. Our team assists with pre-approval and direct billing.
When will I receive the results?
Typically within 24 hours — urgent cases can be prioritized.
Can I have a contrast-enhanced CT scan?
Yes. Contrast is administered intravenously to highlight vessels and organs. Kidney function is checked beforehand.
How long does the procedure take?
Usually 10–20 minutes; slightly longer with contrast.
Do you perform CT scans for children?
Yes, when medically necessary and using minimal radiation exposure. When possible, ultrasound or MRI may be preferred.
