CT Scan
Detailed 3D bone imaging for complex deformity and surgical planning of the foot, in India.
A CT scan for the diabetic foot in India provides detailed, three-dimensional imaging of the bones, making it valuable for complex fractures, severe deformity, planning reconstructive surgery, and as an alternative when an MRI cannot be done. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why a CT Scan of the Foot Matters
Some foot problems involve complex bone anatomy that a plain X-ray cannot fully show. A CT builds a 3D picture of the bones, which is ideal for surgical planning. It is also the go-to detailed scan when an MRI is unsuitable, for example when a patient has certain metal implants.
What a CT Scan of the Foot Can Show
- Complex or subtle fractures not clear on an X-ray.
- The bony destruction and deformity of Charcot foot.
- Detailed 3D anatomy for planning reconstructive surgery.
- Bone changes of chronic infection.
- With contrast (CT angiography), the state of the leg arteries.
Who Should Get a CT Scan of the Foot
- Patients with complex fractures or advanced Charcot deformity.
- Anyone being planned for reconstructive foot surgery.
- People who need detailed imaging but cannot have an MRI.
- Those needing artery imaging to plan restoring blood flow.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, and a CT here is ordered only when it will change the plan. As a reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ashutosh Shah uses the 3D detail to plan precise diabetic foot surgery that preserves as much of the foot as possible.
What Happens After the CT Scan
The 3D images guide the surgical or non-surgical plan, whether that means correcting a deformity, stabilising a Charcot foot, or restoring blood flow before wound care continues.
