What is a CT Scan?
A computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside the human body. A CT scan can be used to study any body organ, such as the liver, pancreas, intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands, lungs and heart. It also can study blood vessels, bones and the spinal cord.
High-quality Scans with Definition AS 20-slice CT
At Valley County Health System, we
offer detailed CT exams with the Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS 20-slice CT. The
Definition AS CT intelligently adapts to each patient, physician and

invasive, complex and routine.
The Definition’s superior scan range and speed allows even the most difficult patients to be imaged rapidly without difficulty. It produces coverage in any organ in 4-D and provides added dose protection for every patient.

Sue did a fantastic presentation to the Board and Management Team regarding
what the imaging department does and how each area works. It was
informative, educational and timely. Sue was able to take complex diagnostic
scans and explain them so that each person could understand and was engaged
through the entire presentation. The variety of diagnostic scans that are
available at VCHS is remarkable. Thank you for the wonderful
presentation.
