CT Services
What is a CT ?
Computed tomography (CT) uses sophisticated x-ray technology to take images of parts of the body in very fine slices. The fine detail allows accurate diagnosis of a variety of illnesses and injuries. In Solomon Islands, we have a very sophisticated CT machine, that can obtain very thin slices of 0.6 mm thick to construct different planes of your body. This allows the radiologist to view detail structures that make up the body and make detailed report that helps doctors to gain a detail and accurate understanding of what is in your body, to aid them in providing timely and appropriate treatments.
CT services
In the past, Solomon Islanders who needed to do a CT scan had to travel overseas. Now, we have a CT scanner at the NRH, where you can access this service.
You can get a CT scan at NRH by using the government health system or by going through the local private medical system where a referral is made to do the scan.
If you choose to use the private system, you can attend the Frontier Radiology Health Centre, where there is a highly experienced radiologist to assist you and refer you for a scan.
At the Frontier Radiology Health Centre, we offer CT services where you can consult our experienced radiologist to assist and guide you, in understanding the benefits and the risks of doing a CT examination. The CT services we currently offer are:
• Consultations with radiologist

Consultation with another specialist
Your condition or illness can also be assessed by a specialist, who can provide advice and treatment or discuss with the radiologist of your CT exam. This will add value to the understanding and management of your illness or condition
Consultation with our radiologist
You may have a condition or illness, that continues to affect your health and you would like the radiologist to assess your medical records to discuss if CT would add value to the understanding and management of your health condition or illness.
