16 Slice CT Scan
The 16-Slice CT Scan captures multiple images of a patient’s anatomy in a matter of seconds and presents information 3-dimensionally. This means the images of the body are now taken much faster, therefore reducing the examination time and increasing your comfort.
Megavision diagnostics is known as Best Ct Scan Center in Pimpri Chinchwad. The information provided is more detailed due to the ability of the scanner to produce thin-slice images; this allows early detection of certain diseases in a less invasive manner. The 16-Slice CT Scan can be used in:
- CT Angiography
- Lung screening
- “Fly-through” colon examinations (Virtual colonoscopy)
- Routine and non-routine examinations of the head, neck and thorax
liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys, abdomen and pelvis
- Non-invasive alternative to angiography
- Clearer anatomical visualization
- Metal artifact reduction
- Multiplanar Reconstructions
- 16 slice CT technology has dramatically advanced and broadened the range of CT applications to include orthopedics, angiography, cardiology, and more.
- Improve Patient Experience
- Reduce Radiation Dose
- Service Cost and Downtime
- Exposure to radiation: During a CT scan, you’re briefly exposed to more radiation than you would be during a plain X-ray. However, Molecule's 16 multi‐slice scanner techniques expose you to the least possible radiations.
- Harm to unborn babies (pregnant ladies): Make sure you inform your doctor if you’re pregnant so that he is able to recommend a different examination such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to avoid the risk of exposing your fetus to the radiation.
- Reactions to contrast material In certain cases, your doctor may recommend a special dye called a contrast material inserted through a vein in your arm before your CT scan. Although rare, the contrast material can cause medical problems or allergic reactions.
