Computed Tomography (CT Scan)
High-Speed, Low-Dose, 128-Slice Precision Imaging
Unrivaled 128-Slice Precision
Our 128-slice CT scanner at Imperial Imaging represents the pinnacle of diagnostic speed and clarity. This advanced technology captures cross-sectional slices in milliseconds, providing an exhaustive level of detail that is critical for identifying subtle pathologies that might be missed by lower-resolution scanners. Whether it's a routine screening or a complex cardiac evaluation, our system ensures the highest standard of clinical precision.
The hallmark of our CT service is the integration of advanced artificial intelligence and iterative reconstruction algorithms. These technologies work in tandem to optimize image quality while minimizing radiation exposure—a priority we call "ALARA" (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). This means our patients receive diagnostic excellence without unnecessary health risks, making Imperial Imaging a leader in safe, patient-centric radiology.
Comprehensive Clinical Scope
From complex cardiac mapping to rapid trauma assessments, our CT scanner covers every medical eventuality with unprecedented detail.
Safety-First Engineering
Our low-dose protocols are tailored to each patient's unique physiology, ensuring the lowest possible exposure for every scan.
The Science Behind the Scan
Understanding how 128-slice technology transforms the diagnostic experience for patients and physicians alike.
Spatial & Temporal Resolution
Spatial resolution refers to the ability to distinguish small objects. With 128 slices, we can visualize structures as small as 0.3mm. Temporal resolution relates to speed—our scanner is fast enough to capture a clear image of a beating heart between contractions, eliminating motion blur and providing a "frozen" view of cardiac anatomy.
This combination is vital for early cancer detection, where identifying micro-calcifications or small lesions can drastically change a patient's prognosis. It also allows for extremely detailed 3D reconstructions of complex fractures or vascular malformations.
Patient-Centric Experience
Beyond the technology, we focus on the human experience. The 128-slice scanner's speed means shorter breath-holds and less time spent inside the gantry, which is especially beneficial for elderly patients or those who suffer from anxiety or claustrophobia.
Our dedicated team of radiologists and technicians ensures that every scan is performed with the utmost care. We provide a calm, professional environment and use advanced techniques like automated contrast injectors to ensure precise timing and minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Specialized Diagnostic Pillars
Our facility provides expert CT imaging across all major clinical specialties, ensuring a one-stop solution for complex diagnostics.
Neurological Imaging
Precision mapping of the brain and spine for strokes, tumors, and neurodegenerative conditions. High-resolution imaging allows for detailed analysis of white matter and vascular supply.
Pulmonary Excellence
High-Resolution CT (HRCT) for diagnosing interstitial lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and early-stage lung screening for at-risk populations.
Cardiac Coronal CTA
Non-invasive coronary artery imaging to evaluate plaque buildup and stenoses. A vital tool for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk assessment without the need for catheterization.
Oncology & Staging Precision
Accurate staging is the foundation of effective cancer treatment. Our 128-slice CT scanner provides the clarity needed to identify the exact size, location, and spread of tumors. This level of detail is indispensable for oncologists when planning surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
We utilize specialized contrast-enhanced protocols to highlight tumor vascularity, aiding in the differentiation between benign and malignant growths. Post-treatment, our scans offer a reliable baseline for monitoring progress and detecting any recurrence at the earliest possible stage.

CT Scan FAQs
Do I need contrast for my CT?
It depends on the area being scanned. Contrast helps highlight blood vessels or organs. Our staff will inform you beforehand.
How long does the scan take?
The actual scanning process takes only a few minutes, although preparation may take longer.
