Computed Tomography

Valley Imaging Partership pioneered the use of computer-assisted tomography (CAT or CT) at Queen of the Valley Hospital in 1975. Valley Imaging has recently purchased and installed a new 16-Slice CT Scanner from G.E.

The new CT Scanner helps Valley Imaging to take more, clearer images in less time than the previous scanner. This new scanner can produce about 38 slices per second and it's resolution can detect even a hairline fracture thinner than 1mm.

CT is the preferred technique for acute trauma and pathological calcification.

Valley Imaging's current 16-Slice CT is one of most advanced CT sytsems available today.
