CT

Computed tomography (CT) uses X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. The X-ray tube rotates around the patient. In some cases, an iodine-containing contrast agent is administered, which can cause a brief feeling of warmth. For good image quality, it is important to remain still and follow breathing commands. We have the latest generation of CT equipment (photon CT) to enable an optimal and fast examination with a particularly low radiation dose.

Special examination – cardiac CT

Photon-counting CT stands out due to its extremely high spatial resolution combined with a significantly lower radiation dose.
This allows for a precise assessment of the coronary arteries as well as a detailed characterization of vascular deposits.
Stents and bypass grafts can also be evaluated with very high accuracy.
Based on this examination, it can be decided whether a further cardiac catheterization is necessary or not.
