Emerson Jones currently practices at MBB Radiology in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to making diagnoses from mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs, Dr. Jay Emerson Jones interprets CT scans, which consist of numerous cross-sectional images of the body. Providing much more information than traditional X-rays, CT scans offer detailed views of the bones and soft tissues. This type of radiography is performed for a wide range of purposes, including diagnosing infections and locating tumors, blood clots, bone fractures, and internal bleeding. To undergo a CT scan, the patient lies on a narrow table that glides into the machines tubelike gantry. Once in position, the patient must remain still while the gantry spirals around the body, taking multiple images of the body in slices. These cross-sectional images are then stored on a computer, where special software can be used to stack the slices and create 3-D models of the area in question to obtain a diagnosis.
