CT scan
In addition to MRI, Florida Orthopaedic Institute has a CT scan (computed tomography scan, sometimes called a “CAT scan”). This simple noninvasive procedure enables medical professionals to quickly and safely obtain sophisticated and accurate diagnostic information on your brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, and extremities. A CT scan can be up to 100 times more sensitive than conventional X-rays, allowing radiologists to distinguish subtle differences in soft tissues that may not be detected with regular X-rays.
