CT and CT
Angiography (CTA)
Our state-of-the-art 8
slice,16 slice and 64 slice multidetector CT Scanners provide remarkably rapid image acquisition
and image reconstruction times, increased anatomic coverage, significant
reduction of motion artifacts and dramatically improved resolution. As a result
small sub-centimeter lesions can be detected with increased accuracy and
frequency. Bolus chasing and other sophisticated software applications provide
consistency and image optimization for CT angiography. CT Coronary Angiography
can be performed utilizing advanced image processing that provides 2D and 3D
reconstructions with enhanced resolution.

CT
Screening including CT Colonography (“Virtual Colonoscopy”),
Coronary Artery Calcium
Scoring and Low-dose Lung Screening
CT Colonography is a relatively non-invasive
examination that is utilized as a screening examination for the detection of
colonic polyps. Our 8 and 16 slice multidetector CT scanners produce high-
resolution images of the colon and provide for extremely fast throughput
minimizing patient discomfort. 3D reconstructions recreate the inner surface of
the colon to display polyps as small as one mm in size.
Coronary Artery Scoring is a CT screening
technique utilizing advanced post-processing software that detects coronary
artery calcifications and compares the number and extent of calcifications with
national standards. This provides the referring physician with a calcium
index or “score” that quantifies the patients relative risk for coronary artery
disease.
Low-dose Lung Screening
is a CT screening
technique that provides cross-sectional imaging of the lung in patients at high
risk for developing lung cancer. Our 8 and 16 slice multidetector CT scanners
provide extremely rapid imaging thereby markedly reducing motion artifacts and
dramatically improving sub-centimeter nodule detection.
