CT Equipment

The Computed Tomography service consists of a Toshiba Aquilion 16-slice CT scanner that is linked to an image analysis workstation, laser imager and an off-site storage server. The image analysis workstation is Toshiba Aquilion 16-slice CT used to create 2D, 3D, and multiplanar reformatted images that help the radiologists, clinicians, and clients have a better understanding of the extent of the patient's disease. This is especially important for treatment planning when the disease occurs in an area with complex anatomy. The CT scanner acquires high detail slices very rapidly. The average scanning time per anatomic region is only 10-20 seconds, therefore most patients can be examined under sedation rather than general anesthesia.
