Fast, precise Computed Tomography at Zam Zam Diagnostic Centre — HRCT chest, brain CT, angiography and more. Written reports by certified radiologists.
What is a CT Scan?
Computed Tomography (CT) combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. A CT scanner rotates around you and a computer processes the data into precise 3D-like images of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.
CT scans are fast, accurate, and invaluable for emergency trauma, cancer detection and staging, chest and lung assessment (HRCT), vascular imaging (CT angiography), and abdominal evaluation. At Zam Zam Diagnostic Centre in Jhelum, CT scan reports are written by certified radiologists — adjacent to DHQ Hospital, Jada.

CT Scan — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CT scans in Jhelum.
Yes. CT scans are available at Zam Zam Diagnostic Centre in Jhelum, adjacent to DHQ Hospital, Jada. We perform head and brain CT, HRCT chest (lungs), CT angiography, CT KUB, abdominal and pelvic CT, and trauma assessments. Reports can be collected from reception or received via WhatsApp.
HRCT (High Resolution CT) chest produces highly detailed images of the lungs and is used to diagnose lung infections, pneumonia, COVID-19 lung involvement, tuberculosis (TB), interstitial lung disease, and lung nodules. It provides far more detail than a standard chest X-ray and is available at Zam Zam Diagnostic Centre in Jhelum.
CT scans use a controlled dose of ionising radiation — higher than a plain X-ray but carefully minimised to the least needed for an accurate diagnosis. The diagnostic benefit far outweighs the small radiation risk for most patients. Always inform staff if you are pregnant, as alternative imaging may be preferred.
CT with contrast involves an injected dye that highlights blood vessels and certain tissues — used for CT angiography, cancer staging, liver, kidney, and vascular studies. CT without contrast is used for trauma, brain scans, bones, and kidney stones where contrast is not needed. Our staff will advise based on your doctor's prescription.
No referral is required to book a CT scan at Zam Zam Diagnostic Centre. A doctor's prescription is strongly recommended as it ensures the correct scan type and protocol is performed and helps the radiologist produce a clinically relevant report.
Scan duration varies depending on the type of study and whether contrast is required. Our staff will advise you on the expected time when you register. Please call us on +92 300 9525440 if you have any questions before your appointment.
