Most Advanced Cardiac CT Scanner-Advanced Cardiac CT Scanner
The Dual Source SOMATOM Definition CT is available at Deborah. The scanner's speed, detail, and non-invasive nature make this addition one of the most exciting new technologies available today. When you add this technology to the expertise and capabilities of this specialty heart hospital, the advantages to patients are significant.
The SOMATOM Definition CT uses two x-ray sources simultaneously which makes it the fastest CT available. It is faster than every beating heart. This is significant because until now, cardiac imaging was only feasible if the patient’s heart rate was adequately low and stable. The ability of this technology to ‘freeze’ the motion of a constantly beating and moving heart is critical to capturing high quality images.
Benefits: Twice the speed, twice the resolution, of other scanners. High
