CT & CTA

CT Scan (Computed Tomography) is a process that combines a digital computer with x-rays. Using an x-ray beam, the CT scan creates detailed, cross-sectional images of various parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, pelvis, extremities, brain, spine, and blood vessels; it also sends them to a PACS server for interpretation and remote viewing. Multislice technology acquires multiple cross-sections simultaneously which results in significantly shorter scan times. Sophisticated results, often presented in 3-D, are created for fine detail analysis for the best possible interpretation.

Computed Tomography scans at breakthrough speed which allows patients who have difficulty remaining immobile to have accurate scans in a short period of time. Its superior image quality and speed of reconstructing images (in one quarter of the time of other scanning systems) means images are available for faster and more accurate diagnoses. Also, our dose modulating software results in less radiation exposure to patients than those not having this software.

This state-of-the-art technology allows us to perform advanced scanning applications, such as:

• Cardiovascular imaging
• CT angiography
• CT coronary angiography and scoring
• Cardiac function
• Volumetric lung nodule analysis
