About CT Scanner and Ultrasound: Hitachi SCENARIA 64 Slice Review , Specs and Price

Here is product review and specification of Hitachi SCENARIA 64 Slice . At present, there no conformity between the CT manufactures on parameter used setting up scan protocol for multi slice CT. Consequently, simple question for the settings of tube current, exposure time(or mAs product), slice collimation, table feed slice thickness, and pith have become nontrivial in MSCT. This partially explains the excessively high rate incorrect questionnaires. A standardization of the user interfaces, at least with respect to the scan parameters applied , is overdue and should help to better understand the peculiarities

The SCENARIA is Hitachi's brand new 64 multi-slice CT system that paves the way for the future. SCENARIA is often a whole body scanner which has a 0.35-second rotation velocity which reduces dose and speeds up work-flows, while maintaining excellent analysis imagery.The 750mm aperture maximizes patients' convenience, reduces anxiety and stress, along with enables effortless assessments. The 750mm aperture maximizes patients' comfort, reduces anxiety and stress, and enables effortless examinations.
