This test involves injecting a radioactive contrast into the body. Computers are used to scan for radiation and create cross-sectional images of internal organs. CT scan is used to examine or map the body, or one or more organs or regions of it, by gathering information with a sensing device, such as a moving detector or a sweeping beam of radiation. Tthe data or image so obtained, often designated according to the organ under examination, such as a brain scan, kidney scan, or thyroid scan.

X-Ray
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. In a health care setting, a machines sends individual x-ray particles through the body. A computer or special film is used to record the images that are created. Structures that are dense (such as bone) will block most of the x-ray particles, and will appear white. Metal and contrast media (special dye used to highlight areas of the body) will also appear white. Structures containing air will be black, and muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) 25-35 pg/cell Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) 31-37 g Hg/dL RBC Reticulocyte Count 0.5-2.5% of RBCs
Patients CBC Result Patients WBC and RBC are significant. WBC reads 13.1 K/uL which indicates above normal value, while RBC reads 5.28 M/uL. Other blood components are within normal range. High numbers of WBCs may indicate infectious diseases, inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy), Leukemia, severe emotional or physical stress, or tissue damage such as burns. While high numbers of RBCs indicate low oxygen tension in the blood, dehydration (such as from severe diarrhea), renal (kidney) disease with high erythropoietin production.
