DSCT scanner at Billroth Hospitals

CHENNAI: Billroth Hospitals has successfully begun using a Dual Source CT Scanner (DSCT) which offered unprecedented image quality at the lowest radiational exposure to patients, said Rajesh Jeganathan, managing director of the hospitals.

At a function to share the applications of DSCT, Dr. Jeganathan said the Dual Source CT Scanner has twice the speed over conventional 64 slice CT scanner at half the radiation dose. It gives accurate results for its multiple applications in cardio, neuro, ortho, abdomen, paediatric, CT angiography and special CT procedures. The hospital's radiology team has been able to obtain full cardiac detail with lowest radiation dose for the past four months. It was non-invasive and the great advantage was it required no pre-medication, he said, adding the installation of DSCT has taken patient care to the next level.
