Scanning Technology - Computed Tomography

Rose Radiology provides state-of-the-art radiological services to patients throughout the central west coast of Florida. The technologies available through Rose Radiology include high-speed, multi-slice computed tomography scanners.

When doctors order computed tomography (CT) scans, they do so to secure accurate and detailed images of the body’s internal tissues. CT technologies yield such images by using X-rays to produce a sequence of pictures, each representing a “slice” of tissue. Doctors can examine an individual two-dimensional slice or, by combining the slices together, examine three-dimensional representations.

Medical professionals rely on information from CT scans to diagnose and track a wide variety of conditions, including cancer, traumas like broken bones, and even heart disease. During the procedure, patients lie on a table that proceeds through the “eye” of an X-ray machine. On occasion, patients may be administered a dye that produces contrast in the images, making them easier to interpret.

CT scan results appear electronically and are interpreted by trained radiologists, who document their findings and make them available to the appropriate doctors.
