Mahajan Imaging & Labs announced the addition of a Dual Energy Spectral CT Scanner, to their Gurugram centre. The Dual Energy CT Scanner is equipped with technology for precise and accurate diagnoses across various medical conditions with a rotation speed of just 0.3 seconds. This means patients can get their scans done quickly without compromising the quality of the images.
One of the key benefits for patients is the low radiation exposure. The scanner uses ultra-low-dose protocols, which are especially beneficial for preventive cardiac scans and for scanning for children, minimising exposure to radiation during scans. It reduces the radiation dose for cardiac patients by up to 85 per cent, making it safer for individuals undergoing heart-related scans. It also features AI-enabled software that enhances early disease detection, particularly notable in cardiac screening. The Dual-Energy CT scan provides spectral analysis of body tissues and disease states, adding a new dimension to routine CT imaging.
While addressing the launch, Dr Harsh Mahajan, Chairman, Founder, and Chief Radiologist, Mahajan Imaging & Labs, said, “The automated post-processing feature of the scanner ensures quick and accurate diagnoses, aiding doctors in making prompt medical decisions. Additionally, this machine requires a lesser quantity of intravenous contrast injection, enhancing patient safety.”
Dr Shelly Mahajan, Lab Director and Clinical Lead, Mahajan Imaging & Labs, highlighted that “For cancer patients, the scanner includes advanced oncology tracking applications to monitor and analyse tumours over time. We can now perform advanced CT-guided procedures such as Biopsies and FNACs to give a complete diagnosis. This helps doctors better understand the disease’s progression and the effectiveness of treatments.”
