   Almost everyone has had an x-ray at some-point. Whether it was to diagnose a broken arm or to check for dental cavities. CT Scanners are similar,  except the donut-shaped CT machine creates cross-sectional images or slices  that reveal the tiniest details of bones, organs, arteries and other tissues. The new 128 slice CT scanner can complete a head-to-toe scan in 10 seconds, compared to 20 seconds for a chest scan with old scanners.  Shorter examination time and precise images well aid  doctors diagnose and treat illness and injury.

        During a CT scan, a tube rotates around the body and uses a small dose of radiation to capture images from different angles. CMC's new scanner is the world's first adaptive scanner which means it reduces exposure yet capturing the most intricate images. The machine recognizes the target area and adjust the dose to protect the patient from unnecessary radiation.

        The CMC CT Scan section is now located at the Upper Ground Floor, CMC V Bldg. For more inquires, you may call 3723825 to 44 local 1226.
