The 128-Slice Multidetector helical computed tomography is an ultra fast low radiation dose CT scanner.  It is equipped with the latest technology, offering superior resolution and unprecedented image quality of the soft tissues, vascular system, heart and coronary arteries and bone.

The system covers 128 slices in a single rotation. This results in improved temporal resolution (the ability to image organs that are in constant motion, such as the heart, coronary arteries and bowel sharply and without blur).  The CT has a spatial resolution of 0.24 mm and acquires images so quickly (in seconds) that less contrast media is required. Shorter examination times make patients comfortable. The scanner has a large gantry width of 78 cm and 485 pound table-weight capacity.

The CT scanner has one of the lowest radiation doses in the market.  Unnecessary radiation dose is physically blocked from the patient.  Only the dose that is clinically relevant to the patient is applied.  Zilkha Radiology is always investigating ways to decrease radiation dose.  We have acquired additional hardware and software that further decreases the radiation dose to the patient (up to 80%). This FDA approved cutting edge technology is currently used in children’s hospitals around the country where low dose CT is the highest priority.  Zilkha Radiology is the first and only practice in the Northeast and New York State to acquire and provide this new low dose technology.  We optimize diagnostic quality while keeping patient safety our number one priority.
