What are the Limitations of CT Scans Compared to Traditional Histology?
While CT scans offer many benefits, they also have limitations when compared to traditional histological techniques:
1. Resolution: Although CT scans provide high-resolution images, they cannot match the microscopic detail obtained through histological staining and examination. 2. Contrast: CT scans rely on differences in tissue density for contrast, which may not be as distinct as the staining methods used in histology. 3. Radiation Exposure: CT scans involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which carries risks, especially with repeated use.
