CT Scan

What is a CT Scan?

Using computer enhanced X-rays, CT scans can distinguish between bone, tissue, fat, gas, and fluid for clear results that allow doctors to diagnose the problem and prescribe an appropriate course of treatment.

CT scans are used to detect and diagnose:

• Brain tumors
• Blood clots
• Stroke
• Trauma
• Cancer
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Pancreatic disease
• Back problems

Timing is everything when you need answers. North Oaks offers ultra-fast computerized tomography (CT) scans.
