CT or CAT is short for computed axial tomography. A CT scan uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the inside of your body. The CT scanner captures images from different angles of the body and combines them to generate a 3-dimensional image.

We have a 16-slice CT scanner that produces high-quality images with the lowest possible radiation exposure on your patient during the exam. The scanner serves well for routine scanning procedures with its fast-processing speed and easy-to-use features.

In some cases, a contrast dye is injected into the vein of the patient, or the patient must drink a solution of the contrast dye. This helps show up parts of the body more clearly in the image. The test’s duration can range from a couple of minutes to half an hour, depending on the size of the area being scanned.
