Cardiovascular Medical Group offers full cardiac, head, chest, abdomen, pelvic and extremity CT services.
A CT scan uses x-ray technology to take multiple cross-sectional views of the inside of the body. Compared to regular x-rays, a CT scan can take clearer images of organs, bone, soft tissue, blood vessels, and other areas of the body. CVMG has one of the most advanced systems integrated into our practice for easy access and availability. Advanced processing creates the finest images possible with the lowest radiation exposure. Our center is accredited by the ICACTL.
Some of the primary uses for CT scans include:
- Studying the chest and abdomen
- Determining the size and location of a tumor
- Diagnosing and treating skeletal problems
- Diagnosing blood vessel diseases
- Planning radiation treatments for cancer
- Guiding biopsies and other tests
- Planning surgery
- Identifying injuries from trauma
- Total body scanning is available when indicated and ordered by your physician
