Computed Tomography
What Is It?

Computed Tomography–or CT– is a test that combines x-rays and computer-assisted technology to create cross-sectional images to aid in precise diagnosis and treatment. CT scans (also referred to as CAT scans) use an x-ray beam that circles a particular part of your body, providing images from different angles. The benefit to a CT scan versus an x-ray is a more detailed, 360-degree view of the area which means more precise imaging. CT scans are effective in diagnosing cancers, bleeding, and internal injuries, as well as diseases of the heart, lung, and other organs.
Examples of procedures include:
- CT Abdomen
- CT Pelvis
- CT Brain
- CT Head and Neck
- CT Spine
- Cardiac CT

Before your exam
Time required
for your exam
Most CT scans take less than 15 minutes to complete and require you to lie down as still as possible for that time period. The machine is circular and the table will move you through the ring to achieve the appropriate scans.
