Musculoskeletal CT Scan — Bones, Joints & Muscles | Epoch St Ives

A musculoskeletal (MSK) [CT scan] provides detailed cross-sectional images of bones, joints, and surrounding structures — delivering information that a standard X-ray simply cannot match. It is particularly valuable when complex anatomy or three-dimensional detail is essential for diagnosis or treatment planning.

Common uses include:
– Complex fractures, particularly those involving joint surfaces (intra-articular fractures)
– Pre-surgical planning — providing precise 3D anatomical information
– Bone tumours and cysts requiring detailed characterisation
– Bone infection (osteomyelitis)
– Advanced arthritic changes requiring detailed assessment
– Post-operative review of implant position or bone healing
– Stress fractures not visible on X-ray

At Epoch Medical Imaging in St Ives Shopping Village, we provide high-resolution MSK CT with specialist reporting — supporting orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine practitioners across the North Shore.
