64-SLICE CT
Our CT scanner provides the most detailed images
available of any structure in the human body in a little as a 10-second
breath hold or less. The 64-Slice CT Scanner at St. Agnes provides
faster, more precise images than the commonly used 4-slice machine.
Because of the speed at which the image is taken—approximately
3,000 image slices in 10 seconds—images have less motion blur and
are clearer. This allows for greater image detail and the ability
to see very small structures that were not visible before. This also
provides a particular advantage when treating children, who otherwise
must be sedated in order to undergo a CT scan.
