Computed Tomography – 64 Slice CT Scan
…CT images have never been so clear. Diagnosis has never been so fast and easy.
Providing accurate medical diagnosis using advanced medical equipment is a priority at Lifebridge Diagnostic Centre. Our award-winning 64-slice CT scanner, also from Toshiba Medical Systems, Japan, sets a new standard in detailed image quality, helping to ensure a more accurate diagnosis than the near-obsolete 1, 2 and 4 CT scanners. More importantly, Toshiba has put patient safety first! CT scanning uses X-Ray technology to produce images of “slices” of areas of the body, which are then processed by computer to from a complete image.
Our CT scanner has won awards for ensuring patients receive a very low dose of radiation per scan, without compromising image quality. The system produces images of the thinnest “slice” of body area possible, ensuring even the smallest defect can be visualized. We can perform advanced Cardiac scanning to uncover a wider range of congenital or acquired Cardiac conditions than previously possible. The systems allows physicians to capture precise images of moving parts of the body, including the heart and joints, to assess how they perform during activity, which is often when problems occur. The state-of-the-art technology within this system ensures shorter and more accurate CT examinations than ever before. Scans of the heart can be performed in as little as 6-10 seconds, ensuring you get your results faster than ever.
Furthermore, you can take your images with you on a CD for your own record or for further Consultation. Thus, Lifebridge stands out among elite diagnostic facilities in the Country.
