CT- Scan 64 Slice

CT- Scan 64 Slice - With a 64 slice CT scan both computed tomography scanners that have been produced by Philips Medical Imaging, and the first to reach the United States, has been installed and is now in clinical use at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
The scanner, which has four times as many detectors as a multi-detector CT scanners typically, combines unparalleled image quality with remarkable speed. It can produce detailed pictures of each organ in a few seconds and provide sharp, clear, three-dimensional images, including 3-D of the blood vessels, in an instant .
The advantage of CT-Scan 64 - slice.
1. Rapid evaluation of various diseases including cardiovascular abnormalities.  Tube with 0.33 sec   rotation speed aircraft is capable of producing 64 pieces / once image scanning. This ability allows the resulting image quality unmatched in both routine and special inspections. So it can do a quick evaluation of the various cases such as stroke and heart disease. The scanning process can be done only in one breath and just hold your breath.2. Very high resolution imaging.With multidetector has, can be obtained images really isotropic from every part of the patient's body, with a very thin cross-sectional. In addition, the ability to acquire volume data allows for "slicing" in various directions including 3D reconstruction of post processing.
3.  Detection of heart disease and arterikoronerWith 64 slice CT scan is possible to get a good overview of moving organs such as the beating heart. With resultant high-resolution image, it can directly evaluate the state of the aorta, pulmonary alteri, coronary arteries and branches. This will help doctors to make diagnoses of disease - heart disease and artery immediately see the presence or absence of blockages in heart arteries (coronary arteries). 
4. Accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of a disease.
 With the tool 64 slice CT scan can detect a nodule / tumor, cyst or other growth in the size of 0.4 mm (smaller than the size of sand). Besides, it can also be appropriately evacuated nodule size changes / tumor is benign or malignant, and in the evaluation of therapy.5. Measurement of radiation dose64 slice CT scan is equipped with highly sensitive detectors that can be done with the scanning technique of low radiation doses tetatpi images that are high resolution, thus the radiation exposure of patients can be minimized.
     Who do I need an inspection?
     1. Patient - the patient premises complaints of chest pain that is not typical / Non Angina.
     2. Patients - patients with the treadmill or EKG results of doubtful
     3. Patients - patients without symptoms but followed by 1 or more risk factors:
         - High Cholesterol
         - Smokers
         - Overweight / Obese
         - Family History
         - High Blood
         - Diabetes
         - Old age
    4. Patients with post-balorisasi / stenting, or post coronary bypass surgery, to assess the presence              or absence of a new blockage in the other blood vessels.
Are there any side effects of CT-Scan?
Until now there has been no reports outside of the medical world about the side effects of CT-Scan 64 slide. On the contrary, CT-Scan is widely used to help establish an early diagnosis in order to reduce and prevent the three deadly diseases around the world are: heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
Female patients who are pregnant should inform the doctor / staff in the CT scan at the register.
