CT Scan
CT scans produce multi-slice images of the body using x-rays and a computer. The state of-the-art Helical Toshiba Asteion used at NMR produces cross-sectional slices using 0.5 mm detector technology with excellent low contrast as well as high contrast resolution and tilted helical scanning. It reveals details in images you can acquire only with the Quantum technology making it the most important feature of this CT Scanner.
