64 SLICE CT SCAN - What makes us different? we offer a world class, latest Multi-slice Spiral CT scanner from Siemens which features a unique detector system that provides super-thin slices for crystal clear, comprehensive images. The scanner is engineered to generate the same high resolution in all three dimensions, allowing for multi-planar views of internal anatomical structures.
64 Slice CT Scan is the type of diagnostic imaging that is recommended when soft tissue such as internal organs must be evaluated. The 64-slice CT scan is able to give your physician a better view of the size, shape and position of soft tissue structures than if simply using a regular X-ray. These types of CT scans also help identify tumors and cysts, as well as diseases of the liver, lungs, coronary arteries and other organs. CT scan can be used to study all parts of your body, such as the chest, belly, pelvis, or an arm or leg. It can take pictures of body organs, such as the liver, pancreas, intestines, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, lungs, and heart. It also can study blood vessels, bones, and the spinal cord.
Preparation for a CT scan depends upon which part of your body is being scanned. Before CT Scan inform the doctor about your condition.
In case of FEMALE, then please keep in mind to inform your doctor if-

CT scan is usually done by a radiology technologist. You may need to take off any jewelry. You might need to take off most of your clothes, depending on which area is studied. You will be given a gown to use during the test.
During the test, you will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine. The table slides into the round opening of the scanner, and the scanner moves around your body. The table will move while the scanner takes pictures. You may hear a click or buzz as the table and scanner move. It is very important to lie still during the test.
Capturing images of the heart has been greatly enhanced by the use of 64-Slice CT scanning. Since the heart is continually moving and constantly changing in size and shape, it is often difficult to capture an accurate image of it. This level of CT scanner is so fast that it can create an image of the heart and coronary vessels in fewer than five seconds essentially between each contraction without causing blurring of the image. This is something other scanners can’t do.
Salient features of PHILIPS ACCESS 64 SLICE SPIRAL CT SCANNER we offer you the Slimmest Gantry (tunnel) as compared to any CT scanner, making it extremely comfortable for all patients. Patients need not go through a long tunnel anymore which could lead to claustrophobioa. Low radiation emission – safest CT scanner in the industry UFC ceramic scintillators allow for the lowest possible radiation dose. Due to their luminous efficiency with an optimized wavelength, the detectors allow for the applied X-ray dose to be optionally evaluated according to the patient’s anatomy, making it the safest CT scanner in the industry.
High Speed and Superior Image quality As CT systems become faster, role of image quality becomes more important. Siemens’ UFC scintillators acquire large patient volumes quickly and provides high image resolution – leading to superlative image quality & better diagnosis. 3D/4D Image reconstruction with MPR Workflow with Workstream 4D leads to faster access to diagnostic MPRs. Consistent results are obtained with the help of streamlined workflow as no thin slice reconstruction is required, thus obtaining superior images in 3dimensional or 4dimensional. The Siemens CT scanner is continually upgraded to keep up with advances in technology.
