Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Southwest now offers the new 64-slice cardiac CT system that helps diagnose cardiovascular disease without invasive procedures. This leading-edge technology provides cardiologists with highly detailed views of the heart and arteries.
The introduction of 64-slice cardiac CT allows nearly all patients to be scanned with very high resolution. It provides the ability to capture an image of the whole heart in just 5 heartbeats (5-13 seconds), so sick or elderly patients have to hold their breath less time.
