HELICAT CT SCAN
Helical computed axial tomography scan (CAT scan or CT scan) is
another name for a CT scan, and is also called a spiral CT scan. Until
approximately the mid to late 1990's, CT images were obtained one
slice at a time, with the patient table moving step by step through
the gantry. Scans obtained using this older technique often required
30 or 45 minutes, and the patient held his or her breath for every
slice. Helical or spiral CT scans are obtained usually with one breath
hold and obtain a volume of X-rayed tissue while the table moves
rapidly through the gantry. Complete exams can be performed in
less than five minutes. With the advent of helical or spiral CT
scanning and rapid image acquisition, CT scanning has become the
main diagnostic imaging tool in the radiology department.

FUNCTION HELICAL CT SCAN

the function helical CT scan is a

radiodiagnostic imaging can produce
images and slices or specific areas of the
patient's body and provide information
processed computer synthesis of x-rays
with the data displayed on the video display

ADVANTAGES HELICAL CT
SCAN THAN CT SCAN

The surplus depiction of organs will be

processed more quickly and an advanced
three-dimensional images through
computer processing. This generation uses
technology that has a fixed-ring detector
4800. When the examination of x-ray tube
rotates 360 around the stationary detector
with a scanning time equal to the third
generation CT Scan.

MRI

MRI can be used to view, monitor, or

diagnose:
spine, joint or muscle problems
abdominal tumors and disorders
brain tumors and abnormalities
breast cancer
heart or blood vessel problems

MRI
An MRI machine or scanner uses a powerful magnet and radio
waves linked to a computer to create remarkably clear and detailed
cross sectional images of the body. To visualize an MRI, think of
your body as a loaf of bread with its many slices. The MRI allows
the physician to see many different slices of a body part by taking
pictures from outside the body.The slices can be displayed on a
video monitor and saved on film or disk for analysis.
For some MRI studies, a contrast agent, usually gadolinium may be
used to enhance the visibility of certain tissues. The contrast agent
is given via a small intravenous (IV) line placed in a vein in your
arm. SeeACRINs About Imaging Agents or Tracers Information
page for more information.

THE BENEFITS OF MRI

Benefits:
MRI can help evaluate the function as well as the structure
of many organs.
Soft tissue structures (heart, lungs, liver, and other organs)
are clearer and more detailed with MRI than other imaging
methods.
MRI provides a fast, non-invasive alternative to x-ray
angiography.
MRI uses no ionizing radiation.
