Riverwood can offer patients the diagnostic benefits of having one of the world’s fastest CT scanners, a multi-slice unit that can reduce the exam time from 20-30 minutes to under 20 seconds. That also means patients can be treated faster.

This new Toshiba scanner can take 16 times as many images as the previous system. It’s quick enough to take images of the body’s rapidly moving organs, like the heart and lungs.

CT scanners are different from traditional x-rays or MRIs by their ability to display a combination of soft tissue (muscles, organs and fat) along with bones and blood vessels in a single image.
