ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Features:

• For the sake of image clarity, you may be asked to wear a gown and remove all jewelry and other metallic items. 
• A contrast agent is sometimes used to make specific parts of the body more distinguishable. Administered through a small IV, the contrast agent may create a slight warming sensation. 
• Once the exam begins, the examination table will move slowly into position inside the scanner’s donut-shaped opening. While you lay on the table, the scanner will use a detector rotated around your body to create a sequence of cross-sectional images called "slices". The computer then uses these slices to reconstruct 3-dimensional images of the inside of the body. 
• Throughout the scan you will be asked to remain still and may be asked to hold your breath for short periods of time. A video or audio coaching system will help guide you through the exam process.
• Technology designed to improve patient care through new clinical examinations, with lower contrast medium dose and exposure dose.
• Technology that enables faster and more accurate diagnosis
