About CT
Computed tomography (CT) combines the use of x-rays with the latest computer technology. The CT scanner creates cross-sectional images by using a series of x-ray beams. A CT scan offers greater image detail than a traditional x-ray - which means that your doctor gets the best information to make the most accurate
diagnosis.

Our multi-sensor CAT Scan represents the future of CT technology. The scanning times are very quick, which means shorter exam times, decreased x-ray exposure, and more rapid results!
Our experienced technologists are used to helping patients that feel apprehensive. Almost all of our patients say that their CT exam was much easier than they expected. This is just one of the many reasons patients travel long distances to 611 CT.

Exam Preparation
You may wear your own clothing if it contains no metal such as zippers, snaps, etc., near the body part being scanned. A good choice would be comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. If your clothing is unsuitable, a dressing gown is provided.

Some exams require contrast media to help enhance the images. You will be notified if you require special preparations prior to your exam.

A restroom and individual dressing rooms are available for your privacy. All metal objects, including coins, jewelry, credit cards and watches, will be secured in a locker. A comfortable lounge is available for other family members and friends.

The CT contains a padded bed on which you will lie during the exam. Our CT technologist will be in continual voice and visual contact with you. Exams usually last 10-15 minutes. During the exam you will be required to lie very still and hold your breath for just a few seconds.
