Multislice CT is revolutionizing the clinical practice through dramatic increases in productivity and improved clinical outcomes. Mx8000 Dual Slice delivers the benefits of multislice CT to any hospital or clinic with a scaleable platform that can be field upgraded with the latest clinical and technological advances. The Mx8000 Dual-slice CT acquires two slices simultaneously to deliver up to four times more coverage than a conventional single slice scanner. In addition of high productivity, Mx8000 serves as the gateway to advanced applications such as low dose imaging, cardiac imaging, and functional CT.
Mx8000 Dual-slice CT System components include: Gantry, patient table, and the Mx8000 operating, viewing and processing console with ESP II graphical user interface.
