Computed Tomography at Jim Pattison Pavilion (VGH)

Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic procedure that combines x-ray with advanced computer processing technology to create accurate detailed images of internal structures and organs.

CT, formerly known as a CAT scan, is an advanced medical imaging procedure that uses a revolving x-ray producing tube, special electronic sensors, and powerful computers, to make slice-like, cross-sectional images.
