LivingCare provides sports CT scanning in Sheffield and Leeds. Our state-of-the-art imaging technology supports athletes and active individuals by identifying injuries and guiding treatment. Rapid access to appointments and a highly experienced team support your recovery and help you return to your activities sooner.
In 2024, over 7.7 million CT scans took place in England . A sports CT (Computed Tomography) scan is an advanced diagnostic imaging test that uses X-ray technology to create detailed images of the body. It is effective for assessing bone injuries, joint abnormalities and complex musculoskeletal conditions in athletes.
Sports CT scanning is useful when standard X-rays do not provide enough detail. Advanced imaging technology can identify stress fracture lines, small bone fragments, and structural changes that may not be visible on other imaging systems.
At LivingCare, we offer advanced CT scanning at our clinics in Sheffield and Leeds, providing you with access to exceptional facilities in convenient locations.
During a sports CT scan, a machine takes multiple X-ray images from different angles. A computer processes these images to create detailed views of bones and surrounding structures, ready for a radiologist to interpret.
Before Your Appointment
You may be asked to remove metal items such as jewellery. If contrast dye is required, you will be given clear preparation instructions in advance. Please inform the team of any allergies, claustrophobia or if you are or might be pregnant.
During Your Appointment
You will lie on a table that moves through a circular scanner. The scanner rotates around you while it takes images. The scan is painless and non-invasive. It is important to remain still during imaging to ensure a clear picture. The scan typically takes 5 to 30 minutes.
After Your Appointment
You can return to your daily activities right away. If you had a contrast dye, drinking water afterwards can help flush it from your system.
A consultant radiologist will review the images and produce a detailed report to support diagnosis and treatment planning. You’ll typically get your results within 24-48 hours.
Sports CT scanning is considered safe. The scan uses low-dose radiation, which is higher than that of standard X-rays. In rare cases, mild reactions to contrast dye may occur. Your healthcare team will discuss any specific risks with you before the scan.
You don’t need to do anything specific in your recovery from a sports CT scan. If you have a contrast dye, you should stay hydrated.
