Chest CT scans are an important tool for the detection, surveillance, treatment planning, and management of many conditions in the chest.

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.
