Multislice CT Scanning for Diagnostic Accuracy

Advanced CT scanning provides precise images of your body. Our sophisticated multislice CT technology is available at all Willis Knighton hospital and outpatient locations, making it easy for you to access care.

These scanners create cross-sectional images, or slices, of your bones, organs, arteries and other tissues, helping your doctor see even the smallest details. We also offer a noninvasive CT scan of the coronary arteries to evaluate nonemergency chest pain quickly and safely.

64/128 Slice CT Scanners

The 64/128 slice CT scanners are among the most advanced technologies available. These advanced scanners provide incredibly detailed images with sub-millimeter precision while using a lower dose of radiation to keep you safe.

With this technology, your exam is faster and more comfortable, with high quality images to help your doctor make accurate diagnoses. Our scanners create noninvasive images of your lungs, heart and arteries, as well as 3D models of your bones and soft tissues for a comprehensive view of your health.

What are the benefits of a low-dose CT scanner?

  • Faster exam times for your convenience
  • Lower radiation exposure for your safety
  • High quality images for better care

SPECT CT

Willis Knighton features advanced SPECT CT scanning. This imaging technology combines the precision alignment of two types of images, fusing them together.  This test uses nuclear imaging to allow the doctor to review the function of internal organs. It doesn’t simply create an image to review, it shows how the organs work.

Here are a few advantages:

  • Uses low-dose CT images
  • Helps physician provide a definitive diagnosis
  • Helps to eliminate inaccuracies that can occur due to patient position, the surface of the imaging couch or internal changes from one imaging session to the next

SPECT CT may be used to help detect or review the following conditions:

  • Tumors
  • Thyroid and parathyroids
  • Skeleton disorders
  • Heart and brain disorders
  • Pulmonary disorders
  • Lymphatic system disorders
  • Inflammations
  • Infections
