CT images are reversed because they are taken from the patient's perspective, not the viewer's.

So, if you're looking at a scan of a person lying on their back, the right side of the image is actually their left side. It's like you’re seeing them through a mirror, which is why the image is “flipped” from your perspective. This helps radiologists accurately interpret the scans based on how the body is actually oriented during the procedure.

It can feel a bit disorienting at first, but it's all about getting the most accurate information!

The answer is...
C !! Right Kidney

Ever wonder why you need to fast before certain scans? ⏳ For CT scans and ultrasounds, fasting helps reduce gas and food in your stomach, ensuring clearer images and more accurate results. Plus, it helps contrast agents work better, so you get the best possible diagnosis! 🍏💧 A little prep goes a long way!
