96-Slice CT Scan
96-Slice CT Scan
A 96-Slice CT Scanner is an advanced Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) system capable of acquiring up to 96 detector rows simultaneously, producing highly detailed cross-sectional and 3D images of the body. It is widely used in cardiology, neurology, oncology, trauma, and vascular imaging.
Key Specifications (Typical)
- Detector slices: 96
- Scan speed: Very fast; can image large body areas within seconds.
- Image resolution: High spatial resolution for detailed anatomy.
- Applications: Cardiac imaging, angiography, brain, chest, abdomen, trauma, and oncology studies.
- 3D Reconstruction: Yes, high-quality 3D and multiplanar images.
- Radiation dose: Usually optimized with dose-reduction technologies, though actual dose depends on the examination.
Common Clinical Uses
- Heart and coronary artery evaluation
- CT angiography (blood vessels)
- Stroke assessment
- Lung and chest imaging
- Cancer detection and follow-up
- Whole-body trauma scans
Advantages Over Lower-Slice CT Scanners
- Faster scanning
- Better image quality
- Reduced motion artifacts
- Improved visualization of small structures
- More accurate cardiac imaging
