Computed Tomography Imaging (CT Scan, CAT Scan)
Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, also known as "CAT scanning" (Computed Axial Tomography),
was developed in the early 1970s and is now available at over 30,000 locations throughout the world.
CT is fast, patient friendly and has the unique ability to image a combination of soft tissue, bone, and blood vessels.
CT is the workhorse imaging system in most busy radiology departments and diagnostic centers.
Since its invention, CT imaging has seen massive advances in technology and clinical performance.
Today CT enables the diagnosis of a wider array of illness and injury than ever before!
