Short Answer
CT scan cost in China may look attractive, but the real comparison should include protocol fit, contrast use, report quality, and whether the patient receives usable files afterward. A lower quote is less useful if the scan does not answer the right question or cannot be used in follow-up elsewhere.
Questions To Ask Before Booking
- What body area and protocol are being used?
- Is contrast needed for the clinical question?
- Who reads the scan and how quickly is the report available?
- Will I receive image files and a written report?
- Can the report be translated or summarized in English?
- What extra costs may apply?
