Philips Brilliance Ict 256 Slice CT Scanner

The used Philips Brilliance iCT 256 Slice CT Scanner is a system that is both highly capable and cost-effective.

To develop the Brilliance iCT CT system, Philips has brought technology innovation to every component of the CT imaging chain. The iCT reportedly optimizes imaging speed, X-ray tube power, detector coverage and dose utility mechanisms to deliver diagnostic accuracy at lower radiation doses. The Philips Essence technology, comprised of new X-ray tubes, 8-centimeter nano-panel detectors and RapidView reconstruction, combined with other innovative technologies such as the air-bearing gantry allowing faster rotation, contribute to the Brilliance iCT CT Scanner reputation as one of the most advanced CT imaging systems on the market.

Benefits :
With superior imaging for advanced cardiac applications, interested institutions should closely monitor 256-slice CT’s advancements in neurological and stroke evaluation; should the technology achieve parity with MRI for visualization, CT’s comparatively faster exam time may render it an attractive option for sophisticated facilities seeking a “one-stop-shop” solution for these procedures.

Providing improved image resolution across the breadth of CT imaging applications, a significant conventional caseload will be required – in addition to incremental advanced cardiac cases – to offset the significant required investment cost of 256-slice CT.
