·       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.
