CT - Computerized Tomography or CAT Scan at Arnot Health

Computerized Tomography (CT), sometimes called CT or CAT scan, uses special computer-aided X-ray equipment to obtain images from different angles around the body. Cross-sectional views of body tissues and organs are generated, which are then used to define normal and abnormal structures in the body. CT scans can also help professionals in accurate placement of instruments or treatments within the body.

CT or CAT scans are offered in the radiology departments of Arnot Ogden Medical Center and Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital. Your primary care physician will direct you to the appropriate provider for you.
