CT is unique in its ability to simultaneously image soft tissue along with bone and blood vessels. It is exceptional at differentiating soft tissue structures, and is one of the best tools for studying the lungs and the abdomen. CT is considered the primary and best means of evaluating most suspected pathologies in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
CT scans provide excellent visualizations of joints and the underlying bone anatomy, allowing for both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional evaluation. CT can also complement MRI in evaluating fractures associated with joint injuries.
Unlike conventional X-Rays, CT has the ability to show complex brain structures, and is a valuable tool in the detection of tumors, blood clots, enlarged ventricles, and other brain disorders, CT scans complement MRI in evaluating the brain and spine. This is especially helpful for patients with acute neurological problems or other trauma.
Virtual Colonoscopy uses a multi-slice, spiral CT scan of the abdomen, which allows us to create pictures on the computer that look similar to those seen by conventional colonoscopy. Also, the prep is easier, the exam is quicker, and it’s as sensitive in the detection of colon cancer as traditional colonoscopy.
Coronary CT Angiogram
A Coronary CT Angiogram is a minimally
invasive procedure, designed to view both the calcified and
non-calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. This
study provides an accurate alternative to Traditional Coronary
Angiography without the invasiveness and risk.
