Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Computed tomography is a method of obtaining x-rays with two dimensional features that create pictures. This has revolutionized the diagnosis of almost all diseases and  conditions of the body. This procedure is referred to as a CAT Scan or CT. It is painless and its only serious danger is possible cancer from x-rays if exposure is excessive.

A CAT Scan will reveal many abnormalities and adverse conditions with such precision that effective treatment can be done.  The list of conditions that can be shown in this procedure includes brain hemorrhage, a pulmonary embolism, an aneurism, kidney stones, diverticulitis, deep vein thrombosis, kidney problems and liver problems such as jaundice.  Computed tomography will not only diagnose a condition, it will also help monitor treatment.
