64-Slice CT

In 2006, The Miriam and Rhode Island hospitals welcomed a new tool that dramatically enhances the diagnosis of heart disease. Our 64-slice CT scanners are the first of their kind in Rhode Island. They provide crystal-clear, stop-action images of the heart, with detail so precise that even coronary artery disease can be accurately detected before significant heart damage is sustained.

Coronary artery disease is a nationwide epidemic. Its effect on the heart can be catastrophic. This new and powerful diagnostic tool can provide lifesaving
information about your heart and coronary circulation. And it can do so in less than 15 minutes with a simple intravenous injection. 64-slice CT scanners represent a quantum leap in the non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease.
