Imaging Center

Computed tomography (CT) imaging is one of the most technologically advanced radiological innovations to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of internal diseases. CT Scanning delivers cross-sectional images of the body, allowing better visualization of specific soft tissue regions which could not otherwise be seen satisfactorily.

CT Scanning is instrumental in making an accurate diagnosis in patients with sinus disease, and is an invaluable 3-dimensional intra-operative tool used for patients requiring sinus surgery. We also offer 3-dimensional imaging assistance to dental professionals achieving precise dental implant placement.

Somatom Scope 16 Slice CT Scanner

Image quality is essential for accurate diagnosis. SOMATOM Scope delivers crystalclear images across a wide range of clinical applications. At the core of this innovative CT is a 24-row adaptive detector array that collects 16 slices of data simultaneously, with sub-millimeter isotropic accuracy. Featuring the high-performance UFCTM (Ultra Fast Ceramics) detector material, it delivers bright, crisp images.

Maximizing patient safety means minimizing dose, in particular for sensitive groups such as children or people requiring multiple follow-up scans. To this end, SOMATOM Scope includes a comprehensive package of Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure (CARE). It enables patients receive the right dose for their imaging requirements. For example, CARE Dose4D delivers fully automated, organ-sensitive real-time dose modulation. And CARE Filter, a bowtie filter installed at the tube collimator, further optimizes X-ray exposure.

 


CT Scan FAQs

Our equipment is very new and uses Dose4D to deliver fully-automated, organ-sensitive real-time doses of radiation. Filtering technology and protective shields are also used to protect non-scanned portions of your body from radiation.

Your doctor can write you an order or prescription and we can get a pre-authorization from your insurance company. The ordering doctor's office needs to do the precertification for the scan as they have all the patient background and information along with the ICD-10 codes for the reason for the scan.
