What is MR Arthrography?
What is a 64-slice CT scanner?
A 64-slice CT scanner is an advanced computed tomography (CT) machine that captures multiple high-resolution images of your internal organs and structures simultaneously. The term "64-slice" refers to the number of image "slices" the scanner can obtain in a single rotation, allowing for rapid image acquisition and detailed 3D reconstructions.
How does a 64-slice CT scanner differ from a traditional CT scanner?
A 64-slice CT scanner captures more images in a single rotation than traditional CT scanners, which typically have 16 or fewer slices. This increased imaging capacity allows for faster scan times, higher resolution images, and reduced radiation exposure for patients.
Is a 64-slice CT scanner safe?
Yes, a 64-slice CT scanner is safe for most patients. However, CT scans do use ionizing radiation to produce images, so it's essential to weigh the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. At Neuro Imaging Winter Park, our highly trained staff takes all necessary precautions to minimize radiation exposure and ensure patient safety.
What types of conditions can a 64-slice CT scanner diagnose?
A 64-slice CT scanner can diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, vascular disorders, and trauma. The high-quality images produced by the scanner provide essential diagnostic information and help guide treatment planning.
