Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed Tomography (CT) imaging utilises a series of images (using ionizing radiation), acquired from different angles around the body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional and three dimensional (3D) images of bones, blood vessels and soft tissues within the body.

Union Imaging and Healthcheck Centre has installed state-of-the-art: GE Revolution CT scanner, which combines the most advanced computed tomography technologies into one CT scanner. It produces 256 slices with high definition Gemstone Detector, 16cm body coverage, and is able to cover an entire organ in a single rotation. This design enables better and more detailed image acquisition accurate diagnosis, and marked reduction in radiation.

Features of Revolution CT Scanner

• Revolution CT has 16cm wide detector with outstanding performance in many areas, including CT Coronary angiogram where the heart can be imaged in a single heartbeat, irrespective of heart rate.
• Enables whole organ diagnostic and perfusion scan, such as liver dynamic scans and brain perfusion scans.
• Fast table speed further reduces the examination time, helping to reduce the volume of injected contrast.
• With the use of new technology such as ASiR-V and the high definition Gemstone detector, the radiation dose is significantly reduced without compromising image quality.
• The 80cm-wide bore, provides a more comfortable and anxiety-free environment during the scan for our clients.
