What is CT?
CT combines x-ray energy with computer technology to provide a safe and painless look inside your body. CT or "CAT" scan technology takes detailed images of the body in a series of cross sections—like a loaf of thinly sliced bread.

How is CT different from MRI?
There are many differences between MRI and CT. Two of the major differences are scan time and acquisition. CT is much faster than MRI, however, CT uses x-ray to acquire images while MRI utilizes a magnetic field.

When is a CT used?
Our CT scanner produces images in very high speed. CT best images soft tissue areas such as the chest, abdomen and pelvis. It is also useful for imaging boney structures to look for small fractures that might have been unseen by conventional x-ray.
