Overview
A CT scan may be indicated to assess for signs of ischemia or thrombosis in particular organs or tissues.
CT
There are no CT scan findings associated with sickle cell disease. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of sickle cell disease, which include:
- Rule out infarction or hemorrhage for patients who present with neurological deficits or altered mental status
