Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago is now home to the latest in Computed Tomography (CT) technology. Our new 128-slice dual source CT scanner is the fastest available and is capable of new minimally invasive tests, including angiography, cardiac imaging, perfusion and advanced vessel imaging.
While the new CT scanner represents the most up-to-date technology, it also offers greater comfort for our patients by providing a faster scan. The advanced CT technology is part of our completely renovated, patient-centered radiology clinic and expanded lab.
It is the world's fastest CT scanner, but also the one with the lowest radiation exposure.
Every radiologist at Swedish Covenant Hospital is board certified in their subspecialties; that means you get professional results and expert advice every time.
The new architecture also offers improvements in cardiac imaging. The Somatom Definition Flash is the only CT scanner on the market that enables the use of noninvasive cardiology diagnostic techniques as routine applications at the lowest possible radiation exposure levels.
