• Volume coverage equates to diagnostic power-including the ability to routinely perform CT-angiography, in addition to, rapid test for stroke and chest pain.
• Scans as fast as 0.35 seconds per rotation. Higher speed scanning translates to clearer, sharper images with fewer problems caused by patient movement or motion of a beating heart.
• Patients benefit from faster exams, automated dose-reduction features equates to less exposure to radiation, less time needed for breath-holds which can mean less stress for the patient
