Great Speed and New Capabilities in Multi-slice Technology!
AGH is one of the first medical facilities in the area to offer patients this new GE Medical Systems 16 slice CT scanner. It provides highly detailed images of the human body complimenting the quality of diagnostic services that we offer. The Brightspeed-16 CT scanner provides us with vastly improved image quality with an entry into new applications such as CT angiography and CT three dimensional imaging.
