How the CT Scanner Works
Take an apple. Cut it into four pieces. Do you see the worm? You might. But chances are you will only find a hint of the worm.
What if you could take the same apple and cut it into 64 slices? Would you find the worm now? If not, the worm was probably never in your apple.
While the apple example may be a stretch, what if your leg had a small blood clot? Would you want a camera that took only four pictures of your leg or one that took 64 pictures of your leg?
With the Aquilion 64-Multislice CT Scanner, physicians are seeing more anatomical information in greater detail and with more clarity than previously thought possible, which means a better diagnosis of problems such as blood clots, infections, and cancer. And best of all, the 64-Slice CT Scanner's design features a highly efficient ceramic material that is able to reduce overall radiation exposure to our patients and our staff.

• Abdomen
