CT Scan

Computed Axial Tomography, or a "CT or CAT scan" offers us a quick and painless way to image many different types of structures within the body including bone, soft tissue and internal organs.

CT is especially useful at pinpointing lesions or tumors, revealing information about their location, size, and extent. Because of its short scan times, CT exams are also good for imaging areas that are prone to movement, such as the chest and liver.
