Computerized Tomography Unit
The computerized tomography made a big change in radiological diagnosis. It became the first diagnosing tool in multiple trauma patients after bleeding control. CT scan can be done for almost all the organs of the body including cerebral angiography, cardiac CT, CT enterography, CT urography and more.
One of the unique uses of the CT scanner is CT sialography of the parotid gland and CT guided liver metastases ablation.
