CT Scan Accuracy

The CT scans which scans using 64 detectors is the most sensitive and accurate CT technology commercially available in the world today. The vast majority of imaging centers use the older and less accurate 4 and 16 slice CT technologies that provide less accuracy than the new 64-slice CT scanners. It is clear from the experiences at Westside Medical Imaging and the other leading imaging centers in the United States that 64-slice CT technology provides far superior imaging capabilities to detect early cardiovascular disease.

Only the 64-slice CT has the capability to image soft (non-calcified) and hard (calcified) plaque in coronary arteries well before patients suffer from heart attack or sudden cardiac death and before a stress test becomes abnormal.

It can also identify other abnormalities including cancers in an earlier stage when they are more likely curable. It is certainly important that when selecting a center to provide your cardiovascular CT scan, you do not compromise on quality and do have it performed with a 64-slice CT by a team of cardiology and radiology experts.
