DUAL ENERGY 128 SLICE CT SCAN

High end multislice CT machine, capable for producing 500 slices in a second (in shuttle mode).
Advanced 5 beat cardiac CT scan machine

SALIENT FEATURES

  • Equipped with ASIR reconstruction algorithm, to significantly reduce radiation dose.

  • Neuro DSA – for DSA like images for brain vascular malformations.

  • Metal artifact reduction software – for diagnosing infection / union status / implant loosening.

  • Dynamic CT scan for CV junction anomaly.

APPLICATIONS

  • CT coronary angiography : for detecting narrowing in coronary arteries.

  • CT cardiac angiography : for diagnosing and classifying congenital cardiac malformations.

  • CT pulmonary angiography : for pulmonary thrombo-ebolism and pulmonary hypertension.

  • CT aortic angiography : for aneurysm, dissection, co-arctation.

  • CT TAVI planning : CT prior to planning for transcutaneous aortic valve implantation.

  • CT head and neck angiography : for detecting narrowing in carotid arteries.

  • CT brain angiography : for aneurysms / vascular malformations ; with metal artifact reduction : can be done post coiling / clipping to look for recurrent / residual aneurysm.

  • CT upper limb angiography : with special protocol for thoracic outlet syndrome.

  • CT lower limb angiography : for detecting narrowing in lower limb arteries.

  • HRCT temporal bone : for diseases of middle ear and inner ear ; evaluation prior to cochlear implant.

  • CT Paranasal sinuses : for diagnosing paranasal sinus diseases and to look for anatomical variations.

  • HRCT lung : special protocol for interstitial lung disease including prone scan and expiratory scan.

  • CT neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis – to diagnose tumors, infection, etc.

  • CT KUB / Urography – to stones, tumors related to kidneys / urinary tract.

  • Onco-imaging – RECIST 1.1 criteria used to follow up solid tumors.
