64-Slice CT

Another new addition to Canyon Vista Medical Center is a 64-slice CT. In computed tomography (CT) scanning, x-rays obtain image data from different angles around the body and then a computer processes that information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs which is used to diagnose many different types of diseases. It can produce detailed pictures of any organ in a few seconds and provide sharp, clear, three-dimensional images, including 3-D views of the blood vessels, in an instant.The technology has been particularly exciting for studying the beating heart as scans can be timed to use only images gathered between contractions, when the heart and its vessels can be seen without the blurring caused by motion.
