CT Scans

UMCP's CT technology includes a state-of-the-art, 64-slice Brilliance CT scanner and a 16-slice scanner that are used for both routine and advanced imaging procedures. Physicians order a CT scan to obtain detailed images of internal tissues and bones to help them diagnose and treat patients.

UMCP's CT technology offers patients the following advantages:

• wide range of exams, including head, body and extremities CT and CTA; advanced imaging CTA cardiac and non-invasive CT cardiac scoring; CT-guided biopsy procedures
