CT Scan

 

There are times when conventional radiograph (X-rays) and ultrasound imaging are not adequate to find disease, tumors, or other abnormalities. The CT scan offers higher detail in places where the other imaging procedures do not. We do not have this equipment at our hospital but can easily refer our clients to the Twin Cities.
