High-Speed Spiral CT

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.
