A computed tomography scan produces incredibly detailed, cross-sectional images of your body for a more accurate assessment of your internal tissues and organs. The computed tomography procedure uses computer processing to generate 3-D images from X-rays taken in a helical fashion around your body. These individual cross-sectional images are often referred to as ?slices? and are particularly useful when examining soft tissue and blood vessels. Occasionally, iodinated contrast (X-ray dye) is used to enhance computed tomography image detail. Our radiologist will determine if the contrast is needed; if so, it will be injected intravenously through the arm.
