A 16 slice scanner built on the 64 slice platform, which is what gives it a wider range of clinical applications than its class would suggest. The 4 MHU tube withstands longer continuous scans, which is what it takes to study large patients from end to end.
What it brings
- Built on the 64 slice CT platform
- 4 MHU tube, which allows longer continuous scan times
- 32 row detector, with high X-ray conversion and low noise
- Wide submillimetre detector coverage, which shortens scan time and dose
- 70 cm aperture, which takes a wider range of patients
- Mechanical gantry tilt of plus and minus 30 degrees
- Vertically moving couch, so a patient with difficulty can get on and off without effort and always sits at the isocentre
- O-dose platform and ClearView iterative reconstruction, which lower dose without losing diagnostic quality
- AVW workstation, with advanced image analysis and processing
Where it is used
- General radiology
- Emergency department
- CT angiography
- Dental study
- Lung density analysis
