3 Avenue de Belgique 80090 Amiens SCANNER EXAMS Our imaging center is equipped with a latest generation scanner. A scanner uses X-rays and can take pictures of all parts of the human body. During the examination, the patient is placed on a table which moves in a large ring in which there is an x-ray tube which performs a rotary motion. The information (specific absorption of X-rays by the different tissues) collected by detectors, located in the ring, are then reprocessed by a powerful computer system allowing reconstruction of the images in 2 or even 3 dimensions. This exam is very quick, in the order of a few minutes. In order to improve the diagnosis, it will sometimes be necessary to inject an iodinated contrast product intravenously during this examination. The images will then be analyzed by a radiologist who will draw up a report. ASK FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT © 2020 Picardy Regional Medical Imaging Center! All rights reserved.
