Computed axial tomography (CAT) is a radiographic tool that allows the doctors to visualize internal structures within the human body. Physicians use CAT scanning to diagnose disease and to conduct several interventional procedures, such as biopsies and drainages.
Saint John has a GE CTi scanner that provides a real time visual display of sections of the body or a specific organ. It works quickly to minimize radiation exposure.
