Alliance Community Hospital is one of the few area hospitals performing CT of the heart, aorta, coronary arteries, and blood vessels which is a fast, accurate tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease and heart problems.
Computed Tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a way of looking inside your body using a special camera. The images produced are cross-sectional, like the slices in a loaf of bread. During a CT exam the scanner takes multiple cross-sectional pictures. With the help of a computer, these individual images are reconstructed into an actual picture of various internal body parts. A CT scan provides much greater detail than the standard x-ray films and greatly enhances the doctor's ability to diagnose a medical condition.
Alliance Community Hospital is one of the few area hospitals performing CT of the heart, aorta, coronary arteries, and blood vessels which is a fast, accurate tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease and heart problems. These specialized studies can only be performed accurately on a state of the art 64 slice (or above) and specialized computer workstations. Our staff has had special training to offer these advanced services.
