Older technologies with less accuracy including 4 and 16 slice CT are utilized in the vast majority of imaging centers in the United States and do not provide optimal examinations compared to 64-slice CT's. With 64 slices or detectors, we now have the capability to image soft and hard (calcified) plaque in coronary arteries well before patients suffer from heart attack or sudden cardiac death and before a stress test becomes abnormal. It can also identify other abnormalities including cancers in an earlier stage when they are more likely curable.
MRI with increased power of 3T MRI non invasively improves the visualization of musculoskeletal abnormalities, providing a more accurate depiction of cartilage tears, injuries and degeneration. 3T improves imaging in areas such as knees, hips, shoulders, wrists, fingers and toes, for both adult and pediatric populations.
PET/Cardiac Perfusion-is a powerful diagnostic test that is having a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
