About CT CT FAQ Preparing for a CT Exam Computed Tomography (CT) is a highly sensitive imaging technique used to view internal anatomy. CT generates thin slice images through the body to diagnose diseases that cannot be seen on conventional X-rays. CT technology is known for its speed and high-resolution capabilities and is established as a safe and efficient diagnostic tool. University MRI uses the GE High LightSpeed 16 Multidetector, GE LightSpped 8 Ultra, GE LightSpeed Plus and GE HiSpeed Spiral CT scanners. These systems are so fast and accurate that they can decrease the amount of the examination time to a breath-hold, while providing outstanding resolution.
