CT Scan
A CT (computed tomography) scan combines X-ray and computer technology to show highly detailed, 3D images of any part of the body, including bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels.
DeTar Healthcare System utilizes one of the highest resolution and lowest dose CT scanners in the market. The advanced, 160-slice CT technology offers a wider patient table, a large gantry bore (the circular opening that houses the radiation supply and detectors), and the capacity to accommodate weights up to 694 pounds. The table also can be lowered to 13 inches from the floor. These features provide consistent patient setup while also assisting with patient mobility and access.
This technology leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver clear, sharp and well-defined images quickly, while reducing radiation dose to our patients by up to 60%. Its ability to capture up to 50 images per second with full organ coverage in a single rotation allows imaging of the whole heart, brain, liver and other anatomical structures to be scanned with shorter breath holds and exam times for added patient comfort.
