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-dimentional images from the original data. This enables physicians
to visualize vessels and organs similar to "virtual reality."
