CT (computed tomography)

Now more than ever things move at a faster pace – including the lives of our patients.

Lafayette General Imaging knows that, which is why we are proud to offer the Siemens SOMATOM Sensation® 64, one of the fastest computed tomography (CT) scans on the market today.   Using tomorrow’s technology today, the SOMATOM Sensation 64 uses X-rays to capture detailed cross-sections of a patient’s body in less time. Most images can be captured in less than half of a second, greatly lessening the time patients spend in our office, allowing them to get back to their life.

The SOMATOM Sensation 64 isn’t only fast, it is one of the most versatile CT scans available today. It can perform high-quality scans of the brain, lungs and heart, just to name a few. The SOMATOM Sensation 64 also provides a new level of image clarity that permits real-time imaging of anatomy as it moves (like the beating of a heart). It can also help doctors pinpoint diseases earlier and develop better treatment plans.
