What is Computed Tomography?

A Computed Tomography or CT scan is a special examination using x-rays and special computers to produce cross- sectional images of the body, giving detailed information for diagnosis. The advanced multislice CT equipment which is installed in our facilities is capable of giving high-resolution scans at very short scanning time. With advancement in technology, the data can be reconstructed in various planes to produce 3D images with surface rendering, virtual colonoscopy, angiography and cardiac coronary vessels.
