Our CT/CAT Scan is new and as a result of recent improvements in technology delivers significant lower doses of radiation exposure to the patient. Older units cannot reduce radiation exposure for children. Radiation dose can be adjusted so that children get a lower dosage than the lowest dose received by an adult on our CT/CAT Scanner.
