64-slice CT scanning allows doctors to capture images of a beating heart and detect potential problems for patients who tend to have a higher risk of heart disease.
At Good Samaritan Medical Center, the 64-slice CT scanner is being used in a unique collaborative and innovative partnership by specially-certified radiologists and cardiologists. The procedure is relatively non-invasive and the entire exam is usually completed in less than a half hour.
Doctors are also using the 64-slice CT scanner to complement the Cardiac Catheterization Lab.
Using special computer software, doctors can then create 3-D images of the heart to check for any problems.
