High-Speed, Multi-Slice CT Scanner

Our new 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, the extremities and even of the small coronary arteries. The MX 8000 is also excellent at performing all other conventional CT scans, at about 5 times the speed.

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.
