What a CT scan shows.
A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body — far more detailed than a standard X-ray. It's one of the fastest ways to evaluate for internal injuries, bleeding, or structural problems.
Our CT scanner uses low-radiation technology and is on-site 24/7, so there's no need to be referred to a separate imaging center or wait days for a radiologist report elsewhere — your ER physician reviews the images directly.
Common reasons for a CT scan.
- ✓Head injury or possible concussion
- ✓Stroke symptoms
- ✓Severe or persistent abdominal pain
- ✓Suspected kidney stones
- ✓Chest pain or breathing complaints
