Introducing the Aquilion 64 Multi Slice CT Scanner: Revolutionizing Imaging Technology

The Aquilion 64 Multi Slice CT scanner captures up to 64 planar images to create a 3D view of the subject, offering superior resolution and comfort. It uses 64 detector rows to scan 1/2 millimeter slices in one rotation, reducing examination time to 5 minutes compared to 15 minutes on older models. For chest scans, it reduces breath-holding time from 30 to 5 seconds, enhancing patient comfort.
