4 Slice CT Scan

TMC offers 4 Slice CT Scans to help physicians get a clearer picture of internal injuries and illnesses. We are setting a standard for consistent high quality images. Use of the 4 Slice CT ensures exams are shorter and more accurate than ever before.

Uses of a 4 Slice CT Scan
CT has become one of the most important tools to diagnose head and spine injuries, lung and liver disease, and illnesses. It is especially useful in the emergency department, where faster diagnosis can be lifesaving for trauma patients like auto accident victims.

Patients benefit from CT Scans because of better, more precise images of bones, organs, and internal bleeding. For patients with blood clots, infections and diseases like cancer – early diagnosis can result in faster, more effective treatment.

How a 4 Slice CT Scan Works
During a CT exam, a patient lies on a table and is slowly moved into the large donut-shaped opening of the scanner. Once inside, a series of X-ray beams create hundreds of cross-sectional pictures that represent slices of the patient’s body. Seconds later, the system’s computer assembles the slices into images that are interpreted by a radiologist.
