Description
CT SCANNER KANOMED 64-SLICE
A 64-slice CT scanner refers to a computed tomography (CT) machine that uses 32 detector rows to acquire multiple slices of data in a single rotation. CT scanners are medical imaging devices that use X-rays and computer algorithms to generate cross-sectional images of the body.
The “64 slice” specification indicates the number of detector rows within the CT scanner. Each detector row captures a slice of data during a single rotation of the X-ray tube and detector assembly. With 64 rows, the scanner can acquire 64 slices of data simultaneously, resulting in faster image acquisition and higher-resolution imaging compared to scanners with fewer detector rows.
The 64-slice CT scanner offers several advantages over older generations of CT scanners. It enables rapid imaging of larger anatomical regions, such as the entire heart, brain, or abdomen, in a matter of seconds. This speed is particularly advantageous for imaging moving structures, such as the heart, as it can capture images within a single heartbeat, reducing the need for multiple scans or the need to control the patient’s breath-hold.
The high number of detector rows also provides improved spatial resolution, allowing for clearer and more detailed images. This is especially useful in diagnosing small lesions or abnormalities and can help healthcare professionals make more accurate diagnoses.
Additionally, 64-slice CT scanners often come equipped with advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac CT angiography, which can non-invasively evaluate the coronary arteries for potential blockages or stenosis. This capability makes them valuable tools for assessing cardiac health and diagnosing coronary artery disease.
It’s important to note that CT scanners come in various configurations, including different slice counts, detector widths, and additional features. The 64-slice CT scanner represents an intermediate level of technology, and there are now even more advanced models available, such as 128-slice, 256-slice, or higher, which offer further improvements in imaging capabilities.
