Computed tomography, or CT scan, can obtain multiple x-ray images of any part of the body. Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center has two CT scanners available.

Thomasville Medical Center is continuously investing in technological advancements to better serve its patients; for example, we now have a 64-slice CT system available.

Benefits of a 64-slice CT Scanner

With this technology, the patient will benefit  from:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Shorter breath holds
  • Increased comfort
  • Lower doses of radiation.

Types of CT Scans

  • Abdomen and pelvis
  • Extremities (legs, hands, arms, feet)
  • Head (brain, face, ears, eyes, etc.)
  • Neck and chest
  • Spine.

The Procedure

  • You may take your usual medications with water.
  • If you require contrast, do not eat anything for at least four hours prior to your procedure.
  • If you are scheduled for a CT scan of your abdomen and/or pelvis, arrive an hour-and-a-half before your test time for preparation.

If you have any questions about a procedure, call the Radiology Department at 336-476-2505.
