Radiology & Imaging
CT scan
A CT scan uses X-rays from multiple angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
When this is typically needed
- Doctor-ordered imaging for internal evaluation
- Emergency assessment (injury, suspected internal bleeding)
- Detailed imaging beyond what X-ray can show
What it involves
A quick scan, typically under 15 minutes, sometimes with a contrast dye injection for clearer imaging.
What to expect
Results are usually available same-day, especially important for urgent or emergency evaluations.
