On October 17^th we began training on the new scanner. We are going on our 4^th week of using this new scanner and we are very pleased to announce we have seen great things already. It is a much faster scanner and we have moved from 32 slices per rotation to 128 slices per rotation. It comes with wonderful software that allows us to scan with a lower radiation dose and reconstruct images into very high-quality pictures. The dose reduction is a great asset to our community. A quick study has shown the following have had a significant reduction in radiation dose measured in DLP: (Dose length product (DLP) measured in mGy*cm is a measure of CT tube radiation output/exposure. It is related to volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), but CTDI_vol represents the dose through a slice of an appropriate phantom. DLP accounts for the length of radiation output along the z-axis (the long axis of the patient).)
