scanner. This scanner captures an incredible level of imaging that
helps with your diagnosis and treatment. Dramatically improved detail,
resolution, speed, safety and comfort mean that medical diagnoses
that previously required invasive procedures can now be performed

- use of anesthesia
- need for several invasive procedures
- negative side effects

Because the 64-Slice CT scanner is designed with you in mind, its open, spacious design accommodates patients of all sizes comfortably. The scan itself is painless and effortless, requiring only about a 12-second breath hold, and may replace:

A safer alternative to catheterization or surgery, and faster than traditional MRI or CT scans, the 64-Slice CT scanner captures rapid 3D images of cross-sections
of the heart and arteries to help:
- identify the cause of acute chest pain
- make the diagnosis earlier
- screen for an impending heart attack without invasive surgery
- exclude life threatening coronary artery disease
- diagnose plaque, the earliest predictor of heart attacks and other heart and circulation problems
The 64-Slice CT scanner is also ideally suited for brain, abdominal, and lung scans. It can also aid in the fields of neurology, urology, women's health, trauma treatment, orthopedics (especially with reduced artifact from surgical hardware) and oncology.
