CT Scan

Computed tomography (CT) is a fast and patient friendly imaging procedure that uses x-rays to create cross-sectional pictures or ‘slices’ of your body. CT images are produced using X-ray technology and powerful computers.

It is an excellent medical tool that is used to detect a whole range of disorders and can be used to scan most parts of the body and can evaluate soft tissue and bone. In particular, it may be used to diagnose subtle fractures, tumours, tiny kidney stones, strokes and blockages of arteries. CT can also be used to evaluate the lungs, the heart, coronary arteries, major body organs and bowel.
