Importance of Regular Check Up

With this scanner, doctors can view the heart and its coronary arteries from any angle. These images can lead to a completely noninvasive diagnosis and even risk assessment for coronary artery disease. A November 2008 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that CT angiography is accurate in identifying blockages and narrowing of arteries and in characterizing disease severity in patients with symptoms. The study focused on the use of 64-slice CT technology, a precursor to the 256-slice machine in use at the University of Chicago.

Brilliance iCT system The University of Chicago Medicine uses the Philips Brilliance iCT.

The remarkably fast 256-slice CT machine produces scans in approximately five seconds. The new scanner reduces the radiation exposure by as much as 80 percent compared to some scans performed on the standard 64-slice CT exams. The speed of the scanner makes the process easier for patients who may have difficulty holding their breath during a scan. The machine is fast enough to get motionless pictures of the heart despite heart rates of up to 100 beats per minute.

A 256-slice heart scan requires no sedation or recovery time. A dye called a contrast agent is typically given through an IV during the scan. This dye allows physicians to follow blood flow as it travels through blood vessels and the heart.
