CT Equipment
Our CT is anticipated to be the Aquilion 64, manufactured by Toshiba. Engineered specifically for multislice scanning, the Aquilion 64 features the unique Quantum detector that provides up to 64 x 0.5mm isotropic slices. The Aquilion 64 features a 32mm wide detector, which increases anatomical coverage per rotation and an efficient detector design, which delivers high quality images.
For the physician, sixty-four-slice technology dramatically improves the diagnostic efficacy of CT examinations. By simultaneously acquiring 64 x 0.5mm data slices during a single rotation, the contrast dose to the patient can be decreased while the image accuracy can be increased. High resolution, sixty-four-slice CT technology offers diagnostic advantages such as clearer anatomical visualization, metal artifact reduction, non-invasive alternative to angiography, and three dimensional reconstruction
of vascular and solid organ systems.
For the patient, the Aquilion 64 provides a more comfortable
patient experience. The high-speed scanning and accurate results ultimately offer your patients shorter exam times, single breath-hold scanning, faster exams, reduced x-ray exposure, and less contrast exposure.
