CT Screening

Computed Tomography (CT)

A CT Scanner combines a rotating x-ray tube and a computer to produce high-resolution, cross sectional images of the body.

The technology is used to screen for coronary artery disease, lung and colon cancer. It is also used for diagnostic work on lungs, the musculoskeletal systems (especially bones), and for dental work prior to implants.

Canada Diagnostic Centres operates the 128-slice Perspective CT Scanner from Siemens. With its advanced features and capabilities, the Perspective 128 is ideal for studies requiring precise clinical information. This high-speed, high-resolution scanner acquires 128 simultaneous .5mm slices in under half a second which means detailed studies of any area of the body can be done in seconds.
