A faster CT scanner with two X-ray sources and two detectors has arrived at PENRAD Imaging.
It's the first CT 128 in Colorado, according to PENRAD officials, and it can scan patients in a few seconds, accommodat patients up to 485 pounds, delivers 50 percent less radiation and has twice the speed and resolution of a single-source scanner.
The equipment can be used for scanning the heart for cardiac disease and can be used on nearly any patient, including those with shortness of breath and irregular heart beat. It also requires no pre-medication.
It also is useful for neuro studies, pediatric patients, small bowel fluoroscopy and other applications.
