CT Scan  -  128 Slice Dual Source

     

     Throughout west central Pennsylvania, physicians and their patients have long trusted the accurate and professional imaging services at Laurel Highlands Advanced Imaging. Recognized as one of the most sophisticated imaging facilities in the United States, in 2007 we installed the 128-slice Siemens SOMATOM Definition Dual Source CT Scanner to better meet the needs of our community. The addition of this groundbreaking technology reflects our ongoing commitment to provide the best that technology has to offer.


 

  We offer special clinical applications in the fields of:

  • Cardiac and Vascular Disease
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • ENT

The SOMATOM Definition is the world’s fastest CT (Computed Tomography) scanner – twice as fast as the quickest 64-slice systems on the market.

     The Dual Source CT works by using two x-ray sources 
simultaneously as opposed to one. Because of this engineering
advancement, this extremely fast CTscanner can image cardiac 
patients with high or irregular heart rates without the need for 
beta-blockers (as well as patients with shortness of breath).

     The result? We will be able to detect significant coronary artery 
disease noninvasively with high accuracy, revolutionizing the treatment 
of the most common serious health problem in the developed world.

 

 The SOMATOM Definition CT Scanner also offers:

• Accommodation of obese, tall and claustrophobic patients

• Shortest breath hold times

• Improved diagnostic accuracy

• Modulated dose reduction
