CT (Computerized Tomography)

One of the latest technological advances that Griffin Hospital has obtained is the GE LightSpeed16 Computerized Tomography (CT) system. This equipment provides rapidly acquired, highly detailed images of the human body. This scanner’s speed has reduced the length of time that patients spend on the CT scanner without compromising overall image quality. The GE LightSpeed16 CT scanner allows for the capture of multiple wafer-thin images of human anatomy within seconds while also providing exceptionally high-resolution images. This technology helps Radiologists to diagnose medical conditions with more accuracy than ever before possible.

The CT suite, with its own private waiting area, is staffed with a team of highly trained, board certified, state licensed technologists who are there to make your CT experience as comfortable as possible.

Collectively, our technical staff of CT professionals possess over 45 years of clinical experience, in-depth knowledge of CT imaging, and a commitment to provide exceptional service. This dedication and commitment speaks volumes toward our continued service to our patients and referring physicians.

The CT Department offers several amenities to patients that demonstrate Griffin Hospital’s commitment to the Planetree Model of Care:

• As an added convenience, the CT Department’s Pharmacy Coordinator will arrange for oral contrast to be delivered to patients’ homes, as requested. To take advantage of the complimentary Oral Contrast Delivery Program, contact the CT Department 24 hours prior to your appointment by calling (203) 732-7400. This program is only offered Monday through Friday, and is available to Valley residents (Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, Oxford, Beacon Falls, and Shelton).
• Complimentary valet parking is offered to all outpatients who use Griffin Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Services. This program is offered Monday through Friday.
• Routine outpatient appointments are available in the evening as well as on the weekends. Appointments are scheduled through the Central Scheduling Department at (203) 732-7101.

We are proud of the fact that the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) recognizes our CT Department. Our CT Department is an example of how Griffin Hospital is changing the face of healthcare.
