Abdominal/Pelvic CT scans are an important tool for the evaluation of many symptoms and disorders, and they play a key role in accelerating diagnosis and treatment planning.
Fairfax Radiology has acquired the latest CT technology which is designed to provide physicians with images that are up to 33% clearer, while reducing patient radiation dose by an average of 50% compared to previous generation scanners.*
These new high definition, low dose CT scanners allow our radiologists to see more and know more with less radiation.
We’re the first to offer this advanced technology to physicians and patients in the Washington metropolitan area.
