Our CT Scan systems are designed with patient comfort in mind. It has a patient friendly Wide Open enclosure set and dual-flared short bore integrated Body Module. With this design, patient feels much more at-eased and relaxed. In fact, for most exams except for studies involving your head or neck, you are only partially placed into the bore and can actually see everything around you. In-bore ventilation system, two-way intercom system and hand-held call button also aid in your comfort.

Difference between CA Scans, X-rays and MRI's...Unlike x-rays and CT Scans, MRI's do not use radiation.  Instead, magnetic resonance creates high-quality images through the combination of a strong magnetic field and radio waves.  MRI's can detect certain diseases much earlier than other medical imaging techniques, making it the diagnostic tool of choice for many physicians.

Imagine the body as a loaf of bread and you are looking at one end of the loaf. As you remove each slice of bread, you can see the entire surface of that slice from the crust to the center. The body is seen on CAT Scan slices in a similar fashion from the skin to the central part of the body being examined. When these levels are further "added" together, a three-dimensional picture of an organ or abnormal body structure can be obtained.

Why are CAT Scans performed?

CAT Scans are performed to analyze the internal structures of various parts of the body. This includes the head, where traumatic injuries, (such as blood clots or skull fractures), tumors, and infections can be identified. In the spine, the bony structure of the vertebrae can be accurately defined, as can the anatomy of the inte-vertebral discs and spinal cord. In fact, CAT Scan methods can be used to accurately measure the density of bone in evaluating osteoporosis.

Occasionally, contrast material (an x-ray dye) is placed into the spinal fluid to further enhance the scan and the various structural relationships of the spine, the spinal cord, and its nerves. CAT scans are also used in the chest to identify tumors, cysts, or infections that may be suspected on a chest x-ray. CAT scans of the abdomen are extremely helpful in defining body organ anatomy, including visualizing the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, aorta, kidneys, uterus, and ovaries. CAT scans in this area are used to verify the presence or absence of tumors, infection, abnormal anatomy, or changes of the body from trauma.

The technique is painless and can provide extremely accurate images of body structures in addition to guiding the radiologist in performing certain procedures, such as biopsies of suspected cancers, removal of internal body fluids for various tests, and the draining of abscesses which are deep in the body. Many of these procedures are minimally invasive and have markedly decreased the need to perform surgery to accomplish the same goal.

Are there risks in obtaining a CAT scan?

A CAT scan is a very low-risk procedure. The most common problem is an adverse reaction to intravenous contrast material. Intravenous contrast is usually an iodine-based liquid given in the vein, which makes many organs and structures, such as the kidneys and blood vessels much more visible on the CAT scan. There may be resulting itching, a rash, hives, or a feeling of warmth throughout the body. These are usually self-limiting reactions and go away rather quickly. If needed, antihistamines can be given to help relieve the symptoms. A more serious reaction to intravenous contrast is called an anaphylactic reaction. When this occurs, the patient may experience severe  hives and/or extreme difficulty in breathing. This reaction is quite rare, but is potentially life-threatening if not treated. Medications which may include corticosteroids, antihistamines, and  epinephrine reverse this adverse reaction.

Toxicity to the kidneys which can result in kidney failure is an extremely rare complication of the intravenous contrast used in CAT scans. Diabetics, dehydrated individuals, or patients who already have impaired kidney function are most prone to this reaction. Newer intravenous contrast agents have been developed, such as Isovue, which have nearly eliminated this complication.

The amount of radiation a person receives during a CAT scan is minimal. In men and non-pregnant women, it has not been shown to produce any adverse effects. If a woman is pregnant, there may be a potential risk to the fetus, especially in the first trimester of the pregnancy. If a woman is pregnant, she should inform her doctor of her condition and discuss other potential methods of testing, such as an ultrasound, which are not harmful to the fetus.

How does a patient prepare for CAT scanning, and how is it performed?

In preparation for a CAT scan, patients are often asked to avoid food, especially when contrast material is to be used. Contrast material may be injected intravenously, or administered by mouth or by an enema in order to increase the distinction between various organs or areas of the body. Therefore, fluids and food may be restricted for several hours prior to the examination. If the patient has a history of allergy to contrast material (such as iodine), the requesting physician and radiology staff should be notified. All metallic materials and certain clothing around the body are removed because they can interfere with the clarity of the images.

Patients are placed on a movable table, and the table is slipped into the center of a large donut-shaped machine which takes the x-ray images around the body. The actual procedure can take from a half an hour to an hour and a half. If specific tests, biopsies, or intervention are performed by the radiologist during CAT scanning, additional time and monitoring may be required. It is important during the CAT scan procedure that the patient minimize any body movement by remaining as still and quiet as is possible. This significantly increases the clarity of the x-ray images. The CAT scan technologist tells the patient when to breathe or hold his/her breath during scans of the chest and abdomen. If any problems are experienced during the CAT scan, the technologist should be informed immediately. The technologist directly watches the patient through an observation window during the procedure and there is an intercom system in the room for added patient safety.

CAT scans have vastly improved the ability of doctors to diagnose many diseases earlier in their course and with much less risk than previous methods. Further refinements in CAT scan technology continue to evolve which promise even better picture quality and patient safety. Newer CAT scans called "spiral" or "helical" CAT scans can provide more rapid and accurate visualization of internal organs. For example, many trauma centers are using these scans to more rapidly diagnose internal injuries after serious body trauma.

CAT Scan At A Glance

• CAT scanning adds x-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views of anatomy.
• CAT scanning can identify normal and abnormal structures and be used to guide procedures.
• CAT scanning is painless.
• Iodine-containing contrast material is sometimes used in CAT scanning. Patients with a history of allergy to iodine or contrast materials should notify their physicians and radiology staff.

A-Z Health Guide from WebMD: Medical Tests

A computed axial tomography (CAT) scan uses  x-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.

During the test, you will lie on a table that is hooked to the CAT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine. The CAT scanner sends X-ray pulses through the body area being studied. Each pulse lasts less than a second and takes a picture of a thin slice of the organ or area. One part of the scanning machine can tilt to take pictures from different positions. The pictures are saved on a computer.

A CAT scan can be used to study many parts of your body, such as the chest, belly, pelvis, or an arm or leg. It also can take pictures of body organs, such as the liver, pancreas,  intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands, lungs, and heart. It also can study blood vessels, bones, and the spinal cord. Fluroscopy which uses a steady beam of X-ray to look at parts of the body and movement within the body may also be done during a CAT.

An iodine dye (contrast material) is often used to make structures and organs easier to see on the CAT pictures. The dye may be used to check blood flow, find tumors, and look for other problems. Dye can be put in a vein (IV) in your arm, or you may drink the dye for some tests, or the dye may be put into other parts of your body (such as the rectum or a joint), to see those areas better. CAT pictures may be taken before and after the dye is used.

CAT scans are used to study areas of the body and arm or leg.

• Chest (thorax). A CAT scan of the chest can look for problems with the lungs, heart, esophagus, the major blood vessel (aorta), or the tissues in the center of the chest. Some common problems a CAT scan may find include infection, lung cancer, a pulmonary embolism and an aneurysm. It also can be used to see if cancer has spread into the chest from another area of the body.
• Abdomen. A CAT scan of the belly can find cysts, abscesses, infection, tumors, an aneurysm, enlarged lymph nodes, foreign objects, bleeding in the belly, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and appendicitis.
• Urinary tract. A CAT scan can find kidney stones, blockage, growths, infection, and problems or diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. See an illustration of a CAT of diagnosed kidneys. A special CAT scan, called a multi-detector row CAT urogram, can look for kidney stones and an enlarged prostate (benign protatic hyperplasia or BPH) without the need for other tests.
• Liver. A CAT scan can find liver tumors, bleeding from the liver, and liver diseases. A CAT scan of the liver can help determine the cause of jaundice.
• Pancreas. A CAT scan can find a tumor in the pancreas or inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatis).
• Gallbladder and bile ducts. A CAT scan can be used to check for blockage of the bile ducts.  Gallstones occasionally show up on a CT scan, but an ultrasound test is usually used to find gallstones.
• Adrenal glands. A CAT scan can find tumors or enlarged adrenal glands.
• Spleen. A CAT scan can be used to check for an injury to the spleen or the size of the spleen.
• Arm or leg. A CAT scan can look for problems of the arms or legs, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, or foot.

A CAT scan may be used to guide a needle during a tissue biopsy. It may also be used to guide the placement of a needle to drain an abscess.

Arrange for someone to take you home in case you get a medicine to help you relax (sedative) for the test.

If you have a CAT scan of your belly, you may be asked to not eat any solid foods starting the night before your scan. For a CAT scan of the belly, you may drink contrast material. For some CAT scans, you may need a laxative or an enema before the test.

A CAT scan is usually done by a radiology technologist. The pictures are usually read by a radiologist. Other doctors, such as a family medicine doctor, internist, or surgeon, also may review a CAT scan.

You may need to take off any jewelry. You will need to take off all or most of your clothes, depending on which area is studied. You may be able to wear your underwear for some scans. You will be given a gown to use during the test.

During the test, you will lie on a table that is hooked to the CAT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine.

The table slides into the round opening of the scanner, and the scanner moves around your body. The table will move while taking pictures. You may hear a click or buzz as the table and scanner move. It is very important to lie still during the test.

During the test, you may be alone in the scanning room. However, the technologist will watch you through a window, and you will be able to talk to him or her through a speaker.

If dye (contrast material) is needed, it will be given in one of several ways, depending on the body area being studied.

• Contrast material may be given in a vein (IV) in the arm for chest, belly, and pelvic CAT scans.
• You may drink contrast material for a belly CAT, or it may be put through a tube into your bladder or rectum, or it may be put through a thin needle into a joint.

A CT scan usually takes 30 to 60 minutes but could take 2 hours.

Drink lots of liquids for 24 hours after the scan to help flush the dye out of your body.

Results

A computed tomography (CT) scan uses x-rays to make detailed pictures of structures the inside of the body. The radiologist may discuss the CT Scan with you right after the test. However, complete results usually are available for your doctor in 1 to 2 days.

The following may stop you from having the test or may change the test results:

• Pregnancy. CAT scans are not usually done during pregnancy.
• Barium and bismuth show up on a CAT scan. If a CAT scan of the belly is needed, it should be done before any tests that use barium, such as a barium enema.
• You cannot lie still during the test.
• Metal objects, such as surgical clips, in the belly or metal from joint replacements may cause a problem in seeing the body area clearly.

• Sometimes your CAT test results may be different because you were tested at a different medical center or earlier test results are not available to compare to the new test findings.
• Children who need a CAT scan may need special instructions for the test. The child will likely need to hold his or her breath during the scan. If the child is too young to hold still or is afraid, the doctor may give the child a medicine to help him or her relax (sedative).
• If your child is scheduled for a CAT scan, talk with your child's doctor about the need for the scan and the risk of radiation exposure to your child.
• Special CAT scanners called spiral (helical) CAT scanners and multislice CAT scanners are sometimes used for this test. These special scanners can be used for many conditions, such as finding kidney stones, a pulmonary embolism, an enlarged prostate gland, or arthrosclerosis. These special CT scanners can:
  • Take better pictures of blood vessels and organs so other imaging tests may not be needed.
  • Test in less time.
• CAT results are often compared to positron emission tomography (PET) results to help find cancer. Some new scanners do both scans at the same time.
• An electron beam CAT scan is another type of CAT scan that can find atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. An electron beam CAT scan is much faster than a standard CAT scan and can take a good picture of a coronary artery while the heart is beating. Electron beam CAT scans are not widely available. Another type of CAT scanner, the multislice CAT scan, is nearly as fast as electron beam CAT scanners and is more widely available.
• A CT angiogram shows two- and three-dimensional pictures of blood vessels better than a standard CT scan.
• Cardiac calcium scoring is a new type of CT scan that is used to test a person's risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is not widely available at this time and is not covered by many insurance plans. Experts disagree about the value of the test, especially for people who do not smoke and do not have other risk factors for CAD.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may give more information than a CAT scan about certain conditions. However, a CAT scan often gives better pictures of bones and sudden (acute) bleeding than an MRI scan.
• Experts disagree about the use of a CAT method called full-body scanning to screen for coronary artery disease and cancers. Full-body scanning is expensive, can lead to unnecessary tests or surgery, and may increase the chance of cancer from the radiation exposure. Most doctors do not recommend these studies unless a person has a specific risk for a specific disease.

• Top CT Scan Quality Images

Multiple low-dose x-rays are taken in sequence by a rotating x-ray tube.  All you need to do is lie still on a table for approx. 5-20 minutes.  The table top will move you through an opening shaped like a big donut which houses the x-ray tube and set of detectors.  Images are acquired by detectors that pick up the x-ray that passes through your body.  The computer processes this information to form an image that the radiologist will review and interpret.  Some CAT studies require a contrast agent to enhance the pictures that are taken of your body.  You will receive special instructions if your exam requires you to consume an oral contrast agent (barium sulphate) in advance.

CAT Scans: Bringing Forth a New Era in Cardiovascular Scanning

Light Speed Ultra’s exceptional speed, thin slices and variable speed scanning provide the foundation and flexibility you need for advanced CAT applications. It's the ideal CAT system for every application -- from pediatric, trauma and chest/abdomen/pelvis exams, to angiography, cardiac, vascular and stroke assessment. Light Speed Ultra scans:  The heart in less than a breath hold - The entire body in just 26 seconds  A 500mm Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis with thin slices in 16 seconds

Faster exams mean patients spend less time on the table. Thinner slices deliver exceptional image quality, that minimizes rescans and maximizes diagnostic confidence. At nearly the same tube load, Light Speed Ultra scans with twice the speed, twice the coverage or one-half the slice thickness of the traditional four- slice CT.

The bottom line is Better Patient Care .

Light Speed Ultra gives you the power to complete virtually any scan with no tube cooling delays or waiting times. Maximize throughput by performing faster exams and scheduling even long studies back to back. The speed of Light Speed Ultra is the perfect productivity complement to Light Speed’s productivity features

Offers a full range of pediatric protocols based upon a child’s size and weight to tailor the dose or treatment to the size of the patient.

CardIQ Analysis automatically isolates the heart (removes surrounding structures), and creates a three-dimensional view. It includes protocols, optimized for the visualization different structures including Coronary Arteries, Calcified plaque, Heart Chambers, Bypass grafts and Stents

Advanced Vessel Analysis provides the tools to perform quick, flexible and accurate quantitative analysis of vascular anatomy. It provides maximum, minimum and mean intra-luminal diameter measurements and cross-sectional areas of true orthogonal sections of the aortoiliac systems at selected anatomical points.

CAT Scan bypass graft imaging provides a rapid, low risk non-invasive angiographic method to assess that status of bypass grafts. As a non-invasive study, Coronary CTA does not present the inherent patient risk associated with invasive diagnostic cardiac catheterization while it does provide essential clinical information for management of post-surgical patients.

Imagine the body as a loaf of bread and you are looking at one end of the loaf. As you remove each slice of bread, you can see the entire surface of that slice from the crust to the center. The body is seen on CAT scan slices in a similar fashion from the skin to the central part of the body being examined. When these levels are further "added" together, a three-dimensional picture of an organ or abnormal body structure can be obtained.

Why are CAT scans performed?

CAT scans are performed to analyze the internal structures of various parts of the body. This includes the head, where traumatic injuries, (such as blood clots or skull fractures), tumors, and infections can be identified. In the spine, the bony structure of the vertebrae can be accurately defined, as can the anatomy of the intervertebral discs and spinal cord. In fact, CAT scan methods can be used to accurately measure the density of bone in evaluating osteoporosis.

Occasionally, contrast material (an x-ray dye) is placed into the spinal fluid to further enhance the scan and the various structural relationships of the spine, the spinal cord, and its nerves. CAT scans are also used in the chest to identify tumors, cysts, or infections that may be suspected on a chest x-ray. CAT scans of the abdomen are extremely helpful in defining body organ anatomy, including visualizing the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, aorta, kidneys, uterus, and ovaries. CAT scans in this area are used to verify the presence or absence of tumors, infection, abnormal anatomy, or changes of the body from trauma.

The technique is painless and can provide extremely accurate images of body structures in addition to guiding the radiologist in performing certain procedures, such as biopsies of suspected cancers, removal of internal body fluids for various tests, and the draining of abscesses which are deep in the body. Many of these procedures are minimally invasive and have markedly decreased the need to perform surgery to accomplish the same goal.

Are there risks in obtaining a CAT scan?

A CAT scan is a very low-risk procedure. The most common problem is an adverse reaction to intravenous contrast material. Intravenous contrast is usually an iodine-based liquid given in the vein, which makes many organs and structures, such as the kidneys and blood vessels much more visible on the CAT scan.

The amount of radiation a person receives during a CAT scan is minimal. In men and non-pregnant women, it has not been shown to produce any adverse effects. If a woman is pregnant, there may be a potential risk to the fetus, especially in the first trimester of the pregnancy. If a woman is pregnant, she should inform her doctor of her condition and discuss other potential methods of testing, such as an ultrasound, which are not harmful to the fetus.
