The GE Discovery CT750 HD is a high-end 128-slice CT scanner and the world’s first High definition CT scanner. It offers both high image quality and multiple dose reduction features on one platform.

The clinical benefits that accrue with this scanner are:

Low radiation dose for patients: This scanner dramatically reduces the amount of dose needed to acquire a high-performance image thus ensuring patient safety, one of our primary goals.

Non-invasive Cardiac CT : This high-definition CT opens the door to new non-invasive diagnostic procedures and innovative techniques for challenging clinical conditions with the highest available Cardiac CT spatial resolution.

First Quantitative dual-energy CT: Gemstone Spectral Imaging is unique dual energy technique that enables clinicians to identify the chemical composition of body materials and aids in the characterization of pathology. 

This new generation CT scanner can better detect coronary artery stenosis in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease in whom imaging is difficult with earlier generation CT scanners.

With the acquisition of this latest technology, SSSIHMS further enhances its commitment to provide its clinicians with the state-of-the-art facilities and empower them to provide the best possible care to its patients.

With the procurement of MAGNETOM Aera, SSSIHMS, Whitefield has one of the most advanced 1.5T MRI systems available in the industry today.

It delivers excellent patient-centered care, helping us to offer a comprehensive examination portfolio that will benefit patients across a  wide spectrum of diseases, in addition to tremendously enhancing staff productivity.

A few salient features that enhance our focus to provide the best care possible to the patient are:

• With a 70 cm Open Bore, it accommodates a large variety of patient sizes, shapes and conditions reducing fear and anxiety in patients. It offers high resolution and fast protocols even for uncooperative patients, whose imaging would have been sub-optimal otherwise.

• With a comprehensive suite of applications, the system is capable of advanced imaging in Neurology, orthopedics, cardiology, oncology and pediatrics. Specifically, this system overcomes many existing challenges in cardiac imaging and will be used for applications ranging from morphology and ventricular function to tissue characterization. The Neuro Suite includes advanced protocols for diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, and fMRI which improve diagnostic accuracy and help clinicians in improved treatment planning and patient management.

• With the accuracy of Tim 4G technology integrated with the consistency brought by scanning by DOT (a comprehensive workflow solution), the radiologists can achieve excellent image quality and exam reproducibility. The personalized scanning of DOT allows the technologists to get the best scan for each individual patient. DOT Engines allow the radiologists uniquely tailored, optimized scans configurable to patient condition or clinical question.

With this sophisticated tool, the radiologists can provide faster and accurate diagnosis with greater  productivity, while allowing patients to enjoy a most comfortable scan experience.
