Computer Tomography (CT) scans create images of internal organs, tissues and bones. In just seconds, this advanced technology can make a complete scan of your entire body - or produce detailed views of a targeted area, such as the brain or heart. Physicians can view the individual images (called "slices") for specific detail. Or they can assemble the images to create a three-dimensional view of an organ. The result often is a faster, more precise diagnosis. The 64-slide CT scanner in our Imaging Department is among the most sophisticated available.
