Who Is This Right For?
CT machines are best suited for practices and labs with a large volume of patients who are looking for improved imaging capabilities and better efficiency. CT is a useful screening tool for detecting possible tumors or lesions within the abdomen, and a heart CT may be ordered when heart disease and/or abnormalities are suspected. Whether your facility performs localized, full-body, and/or head scans, this type of imaging machine will suit your needs.
