*\tZwanger Pesiri Radiology Group, a state-of-the-art radiologic services group serving the central Long Island community for more than 45 years, recently purchased four SOMATOM Sensation 64 CT systems. The four facilities will offer all CT services, including CT Angiography (CTA), cranial CTA, cardiac, virtual colonography and general body imaging.
"The SOMATOM Sensation 64 has continued to set records in CT imaging," said Scott Goodwin, vice president, CT Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "The system represents huge advancements in CT by revolutionizing patient access and positioning, advancing speed and image quality, and increasing clinical workflow and efficiency, ultimately improving patient care and treatment options."
The SOMATOM Sensation 64 is the world's fastest and most advanced single source CT system. Known for outstanding capabilities such as Siemens z-Sharp^TM Technology, which doubles the scanner's data acquisition capacity, the system provides unprecedented image quality and can acquire images of the smallest intracranial, pulmonary, mesenteric, and peripheral vessels in less than 10 seconds. The shorter scanning times improve the physicians' ability to diagnose and treat disease states earlier and more accurately, while significantly increasing patient comfort.
