Cardiac Imaging - 64-Slice Cardiac CTA

The addition of a new Philips Brilliance CT 64-Slice, affirms Monmouth Medical Center’s standing as a leading provider of cardiac care in the region and joins a robust program that features the most expansive diagnostic and interventional cardiac modalities available at a community teaching hospital. The Philips Brilliance CT 64-slice is one of the most advanced CT systems and expands the hospital’s clinical boundaries in cardiac, pulmonary, and trauma imaging, and delivers image quality, dose efficiency and rapid reconstruction times.

Patient Advantages:

Quick and non-invasive imaging. Three-dimensional modality that can fully assess structures in any plane and offers volumetric information on vessel stenosis and other structures such as cardiac chambers. Offers accurate and unique information of the coronary arteries including narrowing, type and degree of plaque, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning. One of the most sensitive tests in detection of coronary artery disease.  CTA can non-invasively exclude coronary artery disease. Can also visualize the pulmonary and systemic arteries of the chest, thereby excluding other dangerous causes of chest pain including pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection.
