Requests for invasive studies under CT guidance (i.e.: biopsies, aspirations) require radiologist approval.
Unlike a conventional x-ray, computed tomography, commonly called CT scanning, captures a series of images called slices that show a slim cross-section of the area of interest. A study is made up of many slices of a body area, such as the head or abdomen. Since the images produced are cross-sections, they reveal information about the insides of organs and tissues, something a conventional x-ray cannot do.
Heywood Hospital has two CT Scan systems from Toshiba Medical Systems.
