What to Expect With a CT Scanner
According to the Mayo Clinic, even though CT scans expose you to ionizing radiation, the amount is so small that it can’t even be reliably measured. The benefits of early diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition far outweigh the minor risk posed by a CT scan. This type of technology might sound scary, but it's a simple, in-office procedure that takes just a few minutes to perform. It's similar to getting an x-ray, and once done, you'll be free to go about your usual day. The images produced by a CT scan are sent to a computer to create a 3D view of your internal structures.
CT Scanner Reviews
I live in St. George but was wanting a second opinion on whether a recommended surgery was necessary. A friend referred me to Dr. Pearson and I've very happy that she did. Instead of just telling me that there was a problem, Dr. Pearson explained the problem and the different actions I could take to resolve the problem. He also thoroughly explained the results of the CT Scan and left me feeling much better about the situation. Additionally he was cognizant of the fact that I was paying out of pocket and took appropriate measures. I only wish he were located in St. George instead of Cedar City. :)
My husband had a CT scan of his head and was told he had a sinus infection and should see an ENT. Dr. Pearson looked at the images and said that it's just polyps and not an infection. I really appreciated that the Dr. didn't try to treat Craig when there was nothing to treat. He was honest, knowledgeable and kind. He took time to explain things so we could understand.
