A CT scan, also known as a cat scan, is a medical imaging technology that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed images of the body. CT scanning is a non-invasive procedure that provides highly accurate information about the structure and function of organs, bones, and tissues. With the help of a CT scan, doctors can diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, from cancer and heart disease to head injuries and lung infections. The technology is also used for planning surgical procedures and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments. Whether you need to investigate an ongoing health issue or want to stay proactive with your health, a CT scan is a valuable tool for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Everything you need to know to prepare for your upcoming exam.
10 Locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Each managed with attention to detail and kept spotlessly clean.
A CT scan (also referred to as a CAT scan) uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.
The radiation dose patients receive during any exam is something our radiologists take very seriously. Each member of our staff has taken the "Image Wisely and Image Gently" Pledge with the American College of Radiology, which states that each patient's CT scan is customized to the patient according to their height, weight and age, to minimize radiation exposure. By following these standards, we are able to claim that CT scans at SDMI are the safest in all of Nevada.
SDMI has always been a leading innovator in healthcare technology in Southern Nevada and we continue to uphold our mission of delivering an exceptional patient experience and accurate results through the cutting-edge technology installed in our facilities.
If you are presenting with any symptoms or previously diagnosed Lung Disease you will need a diagnostic CT Scan as opposed to a screening. Don't Worry, all of our CT Scans are low dose as part of our commitment to ensure patients receive the minimal amount of radiation possible.
Scans are usually completed in just a few seconds to minutes.
In some cases, a dye called contrast material may be used. The contrast may be administered via an IV or an oral contrast and makes it easier to see structures or organs more clearly on the CT images. During the test, you will rest on a table that is attached to the CT scanner and it will send X-rays through the area of the body being studied. Each rotation of the scanner provides a picture of a thin slice of the organ or larger area.
Each patient is an individual, so radiation doses differ from person to person. SDMI customizes radiation doses for each patient, based on a variety of personal factors. This way, the LEAST amount of radiation is used to receive the HIGHEST QUALITY results.

Yes, all of our CT Scans are low dose. Our radiation doses are customized to each patient according to height, weight and age, allowing us to minimize your exposure.
Any patient that is 65 or older, diabetic, pre-diabetic OR as any renal/kidney issues (ie: on dialysis, kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, organ transplant, etc) will need to have BUN/CREATININE level within the last 6 weeks before having a CT scan with Contrast. This is for patient safety.
