CT

Computed tomography (CT) uses X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. The X-ray tube rotates around the patient. In some cases, an iodine-containing contrast agent is administered, which can cause a brief feeling of warmth. For good image quality, it is important to remain still and follow breathing commands. We have the latest generation of CT equipment (photon CT) to enable an optimal and fast examination with a particularly low radiation dose.
