RADIOLOGY/IMAGING
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
Beverly Hospital offers a complete range of Computed Tomography
(CT) scans to diagnose heart, kidney, lung, liver, spine, and blood
diseases; cancer, tumors, and cysts; as well as blood clots,
hemorrhages and infections. The department also offers
computed tomography angiography (CTA) to study, in precise
anatomical detail, blood flow and assess disease progression in
arterial and venous vessels. CTA optimally studies blood
vessels without the need for arterial catheterization or invasive
procedures.
In addition, CT colonography assists gastroenterologists in
fully evaluating patients who are unable to complete conventional
colonoscopy.
Patients benefit from advanced multi-slice imaging technology,
32-slice scanners featuring enhanced 3D image quality, which
expedites exam time. The Cardiovascular Center at Beverly Hospital at
Danvers boasts a 64-slice scanner. Multi-slice technology
provides a sharper image of moving organs as compared to
traditional CT systems and is particularly useful in examining
acutely ill and trauma patients who are unable to hold their
breath.
