Spectral Computed Tomography (Spectral CT) is an innovative imaging technology that enhances diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Unlike traditional CT scans, this high-speed X-Ray system can distinguish different energy levels, producing sharper, more detailed images and providing better insights into internal organs.
Heart Scans – Fast & Precise
Heart disease is a silent threat that requires quick and accurate diagnosis. Spectral CT helps detect plaque and calcium buildup in coronary arteries without the need for invasive procedures like catheterization, surgery, or biopsies. It also differentiates blood flow-restricting blockages, allowing doctors to make faster treatment decisions and reducing the need for direct cardiac catheterization.
Brain Scans – Rapid Stroke Diagnosis
When a stroke occurs, every second counts. Spectral CT can quickly detect brain bleeding and vascular blockages, enabling doctors to choose the best treatment without delay. It also assesses cerebral blood flow, a critical factor in managing acute stroke patients.
Cancer Detection – Clearer Tumor Differentiation
Spectral CT helps distinguish different tumor types and provides a clearer view of cancerous tissue boundaries, improving treatment planning for radiation therapy and surgery. It also reduces the amount of contrast dye needed, benefiting patients with kidney issues.
Lower Radiation, Sharper Images
Beyond its accuracy, Spectral CT uses lower radiation doses than conventional CT scans while still delivering high-definition images, reducing risks for patients who require frequent scans.
