Computed tomography, often referred to as CT or CAT scan, is an effective diagnostic tool that allows doctors to view parts of a body that cannot be seen on a regular X-ray examination. With the acquisition of the 64-Slice LightSpeed® VCT from GE Healthcare, Good Shepherd Longview and Marshall provides the highest level of CT imaging technology in the area. Our physicians are now able to capture images of a beating heart in five heartbeats, an organ in one second, and perform whole body trauma imaging in 10 seconds, more than twice as fast as conventional multi-slice CT scanners.
