CT Scan(32,64 & Advanced 128 Slice)
32 Slice and 40 Slice CT Scanners
32- slice to 40-slice CT scanners generally offer shorter examination time than the previous systems. The obtained image is not influenced by motion artefacts to the same extent.
This slice count category is a bit more expensive than those with a lower number of slices.
64 Slice CT Scanners
The 64-slice CT scanner is a standard for hospitals and imaging centres. It is recommended if you provide advanced exams and if you need to perform basic cardiac and trauma studies.
The 64-slice CT machine will allow you to:
-
- See plaque formation on the walls of arteries and heart contractions
-
- Observe small vessels and arterial branches in sheer images of the finest details
And thus help you diagnose diseases like heart attacks and strokes.
Keep in mind that although the 64-slice CT scanner can perform cardiac exams, it still requires slowing of the heart rate. And thus, for advanced cardiac studies, it is optimal to have a CT scanner with more slices.
64 slice CT scanners are the perfect match for practices with moderate to high patient throughput. Especially where reduced scan time is the essence. You can produce diagnostic images within 5-10 seconds.
128 Slice CT Scanners
128-slice CT scanners are usually found in supporting speciality practices such as cardiac departments or research facilities, where the volume of patients is very high.
These CT systems are able to scan the whole body in just seconds and produce outstanding 3D images of any organ.
The 128-slice CT scanners provide you with diagnostic information to differentiate between tissues and to make it easier to determine the disease.
