CT Scan

Computerized Axial Tomography, or CT, is one of key technologies leveraged in our ongoing quest for early detection of potentially life threatening conditions. This process of early identification is one of the primary keys to successful treatment and, in many cases, saving a patient's life. Our two 64-slice CT scanners enable us to obtain the most precise images possible and greatly improve outcomes.

CT scans are tests that combine X-rays with computer imaging to give a very detailed picture of the human body. This test, also referred to as a "CAT scan" provides X-ray pictures of cross-sectional views, like slices through a loaf of bread, of just about any organ or body part. By stacking these individual images, a 3-D view of the body can be created. This makes it possible for physicians to diagnose certain diseases including cancer long before they might become visible on a regular X-ray.

Our 64-slice CT scanners represent a significant technological leap in coverage area, image clarity and speed, creating spectacular views of organs, arteries and veins. They also create clear pictures of organs in motion like the heart, greatly enhancing our cardiac and pulmonary diagnostic capabilities. Having two 64-slice CT scanners is rare for a community of our size, and we're proud to bring them to our community.

CT scans are frequently used to evaluate abnormalities such as blocked blood vessels. They also may be used to locate infections or tumors and serves as a valuable tool for use in minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures.
