CT Scan (X-ray computed tomography)
CT (computed tomography): All of the Cat Scan services are provided including, heart, coronary, chest, abdomen, pelvis, extremity, vascular, and brain. This includes CT perfusion and CT angiograms. CT enterography (Cat Scan of the small bowel) and CT Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy). CT with Cat Scan radiation dose reduction. Two Level 3 certified and Cardiovascular Board Certified Radiologists who interpret Cardiac/Coronary artery CT angiograms, performed on our 64 slice scanner at St Joseph’s Ambulatory Imaging, Clifton, NJ, and 64 slice, dual-source scanner at Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center. We perform CT of all joints: finger, wrist, hand, elbow, etc. including 3D images.
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing. Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.
CT produces a volume of data that can be manipulated, through a process known as “windowing”, in order to demonstrate various bodily structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam. Although historically the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane, orthogonal to the long axis of the body, modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric (3D) representations of structures. Although most common in medicine, CT is also used in other fields, such as nondestructive materials testing.
Since its introduction in the 1970’s, CT has become and important tool in medical imaging to supplement X-rays and medical ultrasonography. It has more recently been used for preventive medicine or screening for disease, for example CT colonography for patients with a high risk of colon cancer, or full-motion heart scans for patients with high risk of heart disease.

Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiologists (IR) are board certified physicians who specialize in minimally invasive treatments for a variety of conditions throughout the body, often eliminating the need for open surgery. As the inventors of angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent, interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive modern medicine.
