CT scan in Pakistan at a glance: A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays to create fast, detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Across Pakistan, CT prices typically range from PKR 7,000 to 45,000 depending on the region scanned and whether contrast is used. Al-Nasar Lab & Diagnostic Centre offers a 128-slice CT scanner in Lahore with CT scans from PKR 10,000, PHC & PNRA accreditation, and same-day reports.
What is a CT scan?
A CT scan combines many X-ray images into detailed cross-sections of the body. It is fast — often under a minute on a modern scanner — making it ideal for emergencies, trauma, chest and lung imaging, internal bleeding, kidney stones, and detailed studies of the abdomen and blood vessels.
