CT Scan

Computed Tomography (CT Scan)

Rapid, detailed cross-sectional imaging for precise diagnosis of bone injuries, chest, and abdominal conditions.

Advanced Multislice CT Imaging

A Computed Tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do.

Our advanced scanners offer high-speed imaging with low-dose radiation protocols, making it safer and faster than ever to detect complex fractures, tumors, internal bleeding, or infections.

Preparation & What to Expect

Depending on what part of your body is being scanned, you may be asked to:

  • ✓ Take off some or all of your clothing and wear a hospital gown.
  • ✓ Remove metal objects, such as a belt, jewelry, dentures and eyeglasses, which might interfere with image results.
  • ✓ Refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours before your scan if contrast material will be used.

During the scan, you lie on a narrow, motorized table that slides through the opening of a CT scanner. The actual scanning portion usually takes just a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, the scan itself is completely painless. If contrast is required, you may feel a slight pinprick from the IV insertion.
