Introducing the Aquilion 64 Multi Slice CT Scanner: Revolutionizing Imaging Technology

The Aquilion 64 Multi Slice CT scanner captures up to 64 images to create a 3D view of the body, improving resolution and patient comfort. It uses 64 detector rows to scan half-millimeter slices in one rotation, reducing scan time to 5 minutes compared to 15 minutes on older models. For chest scans, breath-holding time is reduced from 30 to 5 seconds.
