Key clinical benefits include:

Clearer images of heart vessels and blood vessels in the brain
Better views of delicate structures like the inner ear

Earlier detection of lung nodules and diseases
Clearer imaging around metal implants
Lower radiation exposure, especially beneficial for patients needing frequent scans or those sensitive to radiation

“The high image quality helps us detect diseases earlier, more accurately and with greater confidence. We can now detect even small fractures or early signs of bone disease, enabling earlier treatment and better outcomes," explains Dr Mohammad Taufik Bin Mohamed Shah, Senior Consultant, Department of Radiology, SKH, who specialises in musculoskeletal imaging.
