CT Scan – Computerized Tomography Scans
Getting a CT Scan at ODI in Newark, NJ
During a CT scan, also known as a CAT scan examination, your radiologist produces two-dimensional images of your bones, soft tissues, internal organs, muscles, blood vessels, and even fat cells. Similar to a traditional X-Ray, the minimal amounts of radiation absorbed by the body make images of bones appear white and organs gray. Interestingly, non-invasive CT scans replaced the less accurate, investigative surgeries.
Going for a CT scan can feel overwhelming. Make your medical imaging experience a pleasant one with ODIÔÇÖs personalized care. Give us a call to discuss your options (973) 521-5685.
