All departments in the hospital use the CT scanner. Featured below are some case studies of children who have used the CT scanner as part of their treatment.

The Emergency Department often uses the scanner for trauma patients, for example a child who has been involved in a road accident may be scanned to see if they have damaged their skull or have internal bleeding.

The Orthopaedics Department use it to look at bones, for example doctors could know that a child has a broken leg but they may need to scan the child so they can see exactly how the bone has broken and whether surgery is needed. Scans can be useful to surgeons when they are in the operating theatre as they can see the scans up on screen while they work.

The Oncology Department often use the scanner to diagnose and monitor cancerous tumours in children.
