CAT Scans or "CT"

Hackettstown Diagnostic Imaging (HDI) features Computerized Axial Tomography, or CAT scans. CAT scan technology is a special for of X-ray which can produce "3-D" images enabling non-invasive imaging of abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, abscesses or degenerated tissue deep within the body. This procedure is an important diagnostic tool which can replace other techniques such as expiatory surgery. Unlike conventional X-rays, the computer technology of a CT scan allows the "pictures" taken of your internal organs to be taken from numerous angles, and then digitally reconstructed, allowing doctors to see the slightest irregularity.

CAT scans are accurate, efficient and can save the patient a great deal of inconvenience and discomfort. These scans are ideal for monitoring a patient's progress during and after a procedure.
