CT Scans

What is CT Scanning?

Computed Tomography (CT) is a powerful diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer technology to create cross-sectional images of the body. Our 128-slice CT scanner provides ultra-fast scanning speeds, exceptional image quality, and precise diagnostic capabilities for a wide range of clinical applications.
