Computed Tomography, CT, uses x-rays to produce detailed pictures of structures inside the body. A CT scanner directs a series of x-ray pulses through the body. Each pulse lasts only a fraction of a second and represents a "slice" of the organ or area being studied.

Our multiple CT systems allow us to obtain up to 64 slices per rotation with a level of detail, sharpness and clarity previously unachievable with CT.
