Breakthrough in Neurovascular imaging technologies using carotid and brain CTA * allow:
|
 |
Double the coverage (80mm) for assessment of brain perfusion to determine size of infarct (damaged tissue) and penumbra areas (areas receiving insufficient blood supply) in stroke patients
|
|
Extended coverage making CT the modality of choice for stroke evaluation
|
|
Detection of Cerebral Aneurysm (swelling of blood vessel) with true 4D imaging
|
|
Evaluation of the aortic arch, great vessels and circle of Willis (vessels in the brain) with virtually no venous opacification in a few seconds
|
|
Assessment of blood supply of Tumours and planning for treatment |
