Associated Radiologist of the Finger Lakes would like to introduce our 64-slice CT technology. The technology obtains images by rotating x-ray detectors around the body. While the detectors are rotating, the patient lies on a specially designed table which moves through a gantry. Standard CT scanners have 1, 4, or 16 rows of detectors.

The 64-slice CT technology operates 4-64 times faster than other standard CT scanners. The 64-slice CT scanners have distinct clinical advantages to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the comfort to the patient being scanned. The advantage of the 64-slice CT scan is it can acquire clear images of the organs in multiple slices in rapid sequence. |
Virtual Colonoscopy
CT colonoscopy is an advanced technology of x-ray that uses computed tomography CT scanning to obtain an inside view of the colon. This new minimally invasive test provides three-dimensional images that can detect any polyps and other lesions as clearly as when they are directly seen by optical colonoscopy (endoscope inserted into the rectum).

The 64-slice CT scanner is a large round doughnut-shaped machine with a large opening. You will lie on a comfortable table that will slide in and out of the round opening. The CT will obtain images from hundreds of angles that are reconstructed by a computer into the two-dimensional pictures you see. Modern CT scanners are so fast that they can scan through the large sections of the body in just a few seconds.

Cardiac Imaging
Today by using the ultrafast, 64 slice CT scanner physicians can image the heart and its blood vessels without blurring. Using advanced computer technology, the information can be reconstructed into 3-D views of the heart and coronary arteries showing narrowing that can indicate early coronary artery disease.
