High-Speed, Multi-Slice CT Scanner

Our Philips™ MX-8000 High Speed, Multi-Slice CT scanner allows very fast CT scanning... so fast, in fact that most scans can be performed in less than a minute. These sub-second scans result in much improved quality because of decreased patient motion. Philips™ is the leader in multi-slice CT scanning and was the first to have this advanced technology.  

In addition to Cardiac Calcium Scoring, Lung Cancer Screening and Virtual Colonoscopy, the High Speed, Multi-slice MX 8000 allows us to perform angiograms of the vessels of the abdomen, the brain, and the extremities. The MX 8000 is also excellent at performing all other conventional CT scans..

As usual, we have chosen a patient friendly scanner that allows scanning of all patients, large and small, claustrophobic and not. The MX-8000 can handle patients up to 450 pounds.

Image Gently^® Program for Children

Lexington Diagnostic Center is proud to be a part of the Image Gently^® campaign.  We are committed to reducing the risks posed to children as a result of radiation received from medical imaging. We pledge to “child-size” the scan by using the lowest amount of radiation possible, using a single phase scan when adequate, and scanning only the indicated area.
