Our GE CTi is a single slice, high speed (subsecond) CT machine. It has a large x-ray tube that dissipates heat faster than the typical tubes. Computed tomography creates cross sectional x-ray images, or slices, that are 90 degrees from the center-line of the CT scanner couch. The sequence of slices can be reconstructed into thinner images for higher resolution and accuracy. Sequences can also be reformatted into different planes like saggital or coronal.

Case studies:

Metastatic lung tumor that was blurred on conventional radiography by the heart and chest wall.

Metastatic neoplasia to the liver not visible on conventional radiography.

This is a tumor in the ear of a cat. The mass has grown to involve the tympanic membrane (ear drum).
