Massachusetts General Hospital CT Imaging Services is one of the first facilities in the country to use the GE LightSpeedTM scanner for the Computerized Tomography test (CT or CAT scan). This cutting-edge technology produces highly detailed diagnostic information, which is valuable to your doctor in planning your care. And, because the GE LightSpeedTM is so fast, you will be through with your test in about half the time of conventional scanners.

This website describes your CT scan, letting you know what to expect every step of the way. A CT technologist will also explain your test to you before your CT scan begins. At all times, you should feel comfortable in asking questions of any member of our staff.
