CT Scan
A CT (computed tomography) scan combines X-ray and computer technology to show highly detailed, 3D images of any part of the body, including bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels. Scans can also be performed using a contrast solution (either swallowed or injected) to make tissues and vessels more visible.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System utilizes advanced multi-slice CT technology. This technology results in less radiation exposure for patients, and can be used to examine a wider range of conditions - everything from exams of the heart, spine, lungs and colon, to advanced techniques such as angiography and virtual colonoscopy.
