VIRTUAL LUNG SCAN
The Virtual Lung Scan allows the radiologist to look at different levels, or slices, of the lungs, using a rotating X-ray beam. With the use of this technology, doctors can better detect smaller nodules or tumors compared to a standard X-ray. A tumor or nodule is a mass of cells that grows on the lungs. It can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). By detecting malignant tumors in an early stage with CT lung scan, the cancer cells can be treated at a time when the cancer still has promising survival rates and is localized to the lungs.
The Virtual Colonoscopy is a new method of imaging the entire colon that is simpler, faster, and less invasive than conventional colonoscopy. It requires no sedation and can simply be incorporated in the overall Virtual Physical. The technology provides higher resolution with faster scanning. This results in a more detailed 3-dimensional viewing capability adding to the diagnostic value of your examination.
