New CT scanner at Imagix Laënnec

A new computed tomography (CT) scanner from the GE Company recently made its debut at the Imagix Laënnec clinic in the Town of Mount-Royal. This new technology enables the clinic to capture high-quality images using lower doses of radiation, contributing to more accurate diagnoses and less exposure for patients.

This new state-of-the-art equipment will make it possible to offer new medical examinations, such as:

• Coronary calcium score test
  • Measures the amount of calcium built up in the arteries and/or calculates calcium in the coronary arteries.
• CT fluoroscopy procedures
  • Multiple types of intervention
• Virtual colonoscopy examination
  • Less invasive than traditional colonoscopy
• CT lung screening examination
  • Helps identify the size and location of anomalies or nodules, even very small ones, less than or equal to 3 millimetres.

At the same time, the clinic has also carried out renovations to improve the comfort of patients.
