CT Scanning

 
 
Open PET-CT Scanner Computerised Tomography (CT or CAT) scanning has been used since the 1970’s. A computer controls the x-ray machine which takes three dimensional images through the body. These images are processed by the computer and reconstructed to demonstrate soft tissue, blood vessels and bone. CT scanners are an integral part of diagnostics within hospitals and can be performed on virtually any patients. There are no contra-indications to CT scanning although the use of contrast will depend on certain conditions.
 
 
 
 
Our new Philips Brilliance CT will allow us to provide you with a fast and probably the quietest experience on a CT scanner with exceptional comfort. Able to work independently of our PET scanner our machine will offer valuable diagnostic advantages, including the evaluation of heart disease in seconds, stroke management with blood flow evaluation, virtual (non-invasive) colonoscopy, lung imaging with no breathhold required, head to toe trauma imaging and paediatric imaging with the lowest x-ray dose without compromising the quality of the images. With high resolution, large field of view, low dose and isotropic thin slices our CT machine will provide the highest of image quality, quickly, as standard.
