CT Scan
CMC is at the forefront of advanced diagnostic medical imaging. CT (computed tomography) scans are an essential tool for diagnosing and assessing various medical conditions. Our equipment is located close to our Emergency Department, which is especially important for the rapid treatment of trauma and stroke. From cardiology, neurology, and oncology to musculoskeletal, emergency, and trauma needs, breakthrough image quality helps clinicians diagnose and treat some of the most challenging health conditions faster than ever before. Our CT maging equipment includes the options below.
