LightSpeed VCT, the world’s first Volume CT system, is the latest
innovation in computed- tomography (CT) technology.
The state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner is the most advanced CT scanner
available and is usually found only at university medical centers.
This advanced technology is now available at our Imaging Center providing
the most advanced technology with minimal discomfort and inconvenience
to patients.
Our new 64-slice LightSpeed
Volume CT System enables doctors to capture an image of a:
- Body organ in 1 second
- A beating heart in just five heart beats
- Whole body trauma in 10 seconds

This latest technology greatly
improves the information doctors need to treat life-threatening
illnesses such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, and chest
pain. This scanner provides a powerful new tool for
performing new and enhanced procedures.

for the patient
