CT
A CT or CAT (computed tomography) scan combines X-ray and computer technology to show highly detailed, 3-D images of any part of the body, including bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels. Scans can also be performed using a contrast solution (either swallowed or injected) to make tissues and vessels more visible.
Bayfront Health Spring Hill is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for CT scanning. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety.
