What to bring:

Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

When does a doctor order Ct temp?

Ct temp is the cycle-threshold value reported on PCR-based respiratory infection panels. Doctors order it when someone has fever, cough, shortness of breath, or after known exposure to a contagious illness.

Who should get Ct temp done in Ludhiana?

Ludhiana's large industrial workforce, ghee- and dairy-rich Punjabi diet driving high diabetes and cardiovascular prevalence, winter air pollution, and seasonal monsoon infections make regular preventive diagnostic testing an important habit for residents citywide. Those who benefit most from Ct temp include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Ludhiana.

What can Ct temp help detect?

It helps detect and monitor viral infections such as COVID-19 and can inform isolation or treatment decisions. Low (abnormal) values often reflect higher viral material and may result from recent infection, poor sample timing, or lab differences; medications or immune status can also affect results, and family exposure may prompt testing.

What do Ct temp results mean?

An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.

How often should Ct temp be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
