Overview State-of-The-Art Facilities SOMATOM Definition Flash CT scanner Professional and Personalised Services
 
HealthScan Malaysia™ houses the 1st SOMATOM Definition Flash CT Scanner in Malaysia.

What is a CT (computed tomography) scan?

  • A CT (computed tomography) scan is a relatively simple, safe and completely painless examination that radiologists have performed for many years

What makes the SOMATOM Definition Flash CT scanner special?
  • It is one of the world’s most accurate scanners with the ability to identify structures as small as 0.33mm – that’s smaller than a grain of sand
  • It is one of the world’s fastest scanners with the ability to scan the entire heart in only 0.28 seconds
  • It has by far one of the world’s lowest patient radiation exposure. This allows radiation doses below 1mSv for non-invasive coronary angiography compared to 8mSv to 40mSv radiation exposure encountered with other scanners

What can the HealthScan Malaysia™ team offer using this revolutionary technology?

 
  • Use calcium scoring to survey all the vessels of the heart to give you an assessment of heart attack risk
 
 
  • Identify vulnerable deposits of plaque- the main cause of heart attack and stroke - in the heart and brain vessels at the earliest stages of development, well before they are detectable using existing non-invasive methods such as stress test, nuclear imaging and ultrasound/Doppler studies
 
  • Perform non-invasive total body angiogram accurately as an alternative to the invasive method to assess coronary, peripheral and cerebral blockages, bypass grafts, stents and congenital abnormalities
 
  • Detect stroke early
 
  • Detect early cancer in the major organs including the brain, lungs,liver and kidneys
 
  • Perform non-invasive virtual colonoscopy to detect polyps and early cancer in the large bowel, helping avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of endoscopic colonoscopy
