CT Scan

Computerized Tomography is similar to an MRI in terms of the way the machine looks and seems to operate.  However, the CT scan produces a 3-D image of your body and is especially useful for finding problems in your bones and joints.  It’s a more compact machine and should cause no complications for claustrophobics.
