 It is a branch of medical science, which focuses on the use of radiation, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance as diagnostic, therapeutic, and research tools in medicinal practices. It is related to anatomy, pathology, physiology, and interventional procedures.

128 SLICE GE DISCOVERY 750 HD CT SCANNER

A better diagnostic technology helps you in detecting the minutest early signs. This is where department of radiology and imaging sciences at Sreevalsam institute of medical sciences with the aim of providing the best to the patients has installed the latest state of the art technology new generation 128 SLICE GE DISCOVERY 750 HD CT SCANNER. This scanner is equipped with better image quality which helps with clear cut images quicker, efficient and risk free and provides ultra-high sampling rate assisted by 100 times fast gemstone detector, the first new CT detector, gives a spatial resolution of 230 microns for any scan and for any region even at high pitch express fast modes.

The distinctive features of the machine are:

• Single source dual energy
• Perfect temporal registration between two energies in 0.25ms
• CT angiography with GSI for plaque characterization and calcium removal
• Full field of 50cm whole body dual energy application
• Dual energy-with no additional dose – Dose neutral scans in dual energy
• Mean effective atomic number estimation for accurate material classification
• Material separation and image creation with any known material like iron, fat, water, iodine, muscle, uric acid etc.
• Mono chromatic images for removing artifacts 101 energy levels
• Iodine mapping and perfusion quantification for lung with mg/cc iodine estimation
• Renal stone characterization with classification
• Dose neutral – no additional dose in dual energy mode
