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.

Abdominal Pain Case Low-dose abdomen/pelvic CT scan of a 32-year-old female with right lower quadrant pain. Image depicts a distended inflamed appendix containing a small appendicolith consistent with acute appendicitis. Total CT effective radiation dose was 3.0 mSv, a 78.5% reduction* from the clinical standard of 14 mSv (see Mettler et al, Radiology 2008 248:254-63). * Results may vary due to patient size and scanning protocol.
