Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital offers advanced CT solutions using the new GE LightSpeed 16 that uses 16-slice technology and has the power to complete scans more quickly. The scanner is able to produce high quality images of the beating heart, enabling earlier diagnosis and visualization of calcification in the heart.

The scanner is also designed to reduce unnecessary radiation doses especially in smaller patients like pediatrics. Based on the Broselow-Luten® Pediatric System, GE’s exclusive Color Coding for Kids is designed to help minimize doses to the pediatric patient because it is able to use scan protocols that are color-coded according to each child’s weight and size.

What is Computerized Tomography (CT)?

A "CT" or "CAT" scan is the term used to describe a radiologic test known as "computerized tomography" (or computed axial tomography). The CT scanner uses advanced x-ray technology to take pictures of cross-sections of your body, called "slices." CT can see inside the brain and other parts of the body.
