Computed Tomography (CT or CAT)

Catawba Valley Medical Center has two scanners a 128 slice and a 64 slice. These scanners offer technology allowing us to obtain images of the body using the lowest amount of radiation possible while maintaining excellent image quality. Unique to the Unifour area, we are able to scan patients weighing up to 675 pounds.

Catawba Valley Medical Center performs routine imaging of all anatomy. We offer Cardiac Scoring and CT Angiography of the heart, lungs and vessels. Catawba Valley Medical Center is unique to the Unifour in that we utilize this scanner to aid in interventional studies (biopsies, drains) using CT Fluoroscopy with 3D image guidance for greater accuracy.

We also perform not only diagnostic studies but also therapeutic procedures. We perform treatment of renal, liver, bone or lung lesions using either Microwave or Cryo-ablation treatment systems.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has accredited our system in adult and pediatric imaging. Catawba Valley Medical Center is proud to be recognized as an Image Gently facility.
