Hospital buys CT scanner   With a few clicks, he takes the
images -- each are similar to a single slice of bread -- and
pulls them together into one entire "loaf" for a three-
dimensional look at the patient's trunk.  From that, he can hone
in on a diagonal or cross-section slice, something that is too
difficult to do in one's mind and used to take hours with a
computer.  Now, it takes seconds.  This new 3-D way of looking
at the human body is made possible with the hospital's top-of-
the-line computed tomography scanner, also called a CAT or CT
scanner, which lets doctors see the human body faster and with
finer detail.  Having a three-dimensional view is more helpful
in situations such as a complex fracture in a joint, as they
allow a doctor to see clearly how one area relates to another.
The improvement that has come with the new technology is
"dramatic," Jones said.  "It's a great advance from what we
could previously do," he said.  Yampa Valley Medical Center is a
