HVRA Now Taking Appointments for New Multi-Slice CT Scan

HVRA now offers the latest technology in Multi-Slice CT scans—the Siemens Sensation Multi-Slice CT Scanner, a trusted and award-winning CT for routine and advanced diagnostic studies. The Siemens Sensation provides the unprecedented image quality with the highest speed and unmatched sharpness and clarity, while offering patients lower x-ray exposure and optimal patient comfort.

Unlike single-detector methods used in first-generation spiral or helical scanners, multi-slice scanners have many detectors that allow for the acquisition of a large volume of information at the same time. For example, an entire chest CT scan can be done in one breath hold. In addition, its high speed offers the crucial ability to capture a bolus of intravenous contrast at its peak concentration within arteries and veins.
