iCT Installation an Australian first
September 2009
BMI has recently taken advantage of an upgrade offer and has installed a 256 slice CT, the first in Australia and the fastest CT currently available in the world today.
In an Australian first, this scanner is so powerful it can capture an image of the entire heart in two beats and can aquire full body scans at a rate of 400 images per second!
Benefits to patients include lower radiation doses, outstanding image quality and shorter scanning times, which will facilitate improved paediatric, cardiac and general imaging.
The Philips iCT is now operating at Barwon Medical Imaging and is available with a referral from a specialist or GP.
Sharper, Faster Images at 80% less dose.
