MDG CT scanner; saving lives and money

A U.S. Air Force Airman prepares to stick an IV into a patient’s vein in preparation for a CT scan at Misawa Air Base, Japan, July 24, 2012. There are two different types of CT scans; one involves an IV contrast and one does not. The IV contrast enhances the blood vessels and enables technologists to check for blood clots. The IV also allows the technologists to double check certain masses spotted in previous images, which could include cancer and other pathology.
