National Jewish Health is one of the first organizations in the western United States to have the Naeotom Alpha CT technology. This is a photon counting CT (PCCT). It is a fundamental breakthrough in CT technology that provides improved spatial resolution, less image noise, a reduced patient radiation dose and true spectral imaging at multiple photon energy thresholds.
Benefits:
Ultra high resolution to visualize the finest details for high diagnostic confidence in evaluating patients with interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, coronary diseases and other unusual airway diseases.
Reduces dose for screening and dose-sensitive patients.
Improved image contrast.
Highly detailed reporting to patients and providers.
Follows the progression of lung nodules and other chronic respiratory disorders and cancers.
Siemens Definition AS+ 128 Slice
Benefits:
Reduced Scan Time – With its 128 slices/per rotation, this scanner has a high rotation speed of 300 milliseconds. Because of the high number of detectors, the scanner can acquire more images in a shorter period of time thus reducing the chance of blurriness due to patient movement.
CTAs– Capable of performing CT angiography (a scan focusing on the blood vessels) in just 4 seconds
RealTime Fluoroscopy – Can be used for performing fluoroscopy guided biopsies.
Bariatric Imaging – This scanner also has a high capacity table for scanning heavier patients up to 600 lbs.
