| Computed Tomography
(CT) scanning is a rapid, painless diagnostic examination that combines
X-rays and computers. A CT scan allows the radiologist to see the
location, nature, and extent of many different diseases or abnormalities
inside your body.
Our computerized CT scanners incorporate all
recent and dramatic advances and are capable of
ultra rapid scanning and helical imaging, a combination
that allows an examination of the abdomen to be
completed in seconds. The high-resolution images
this system produces reveal unsurpassed details,
and computers allow Princeton Radiology radiologists
to manipulate and reconstruct images in multiple
planes, extrapolating 3-dimensional images from
the original data. This enables physicians to
visualize vessels and organs similar to "virtual
reality."
