CT, MRI and 3D Reconstruction

SOMATOM Sensation 64 Multislice CT

Advanced multislice CT is one of the most important developments in diagnostic imaging as it allows patients to be examined in a single breath hold, virtually eliminating motion artifacts and providing superior diagnostic information. Our new SOMATOM and SOMATOM Sensation Cardiac 64 Multislice CT scanners allow the use of high-performance spiral CT routinely, which provides extended coverage of anatomical areas while producing superior image quality.

MAGNETOM™Avanto MRI
Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics was one of the first five medical institutions in the United States and the first in the state of Texas to install the new MAGNETOM™ Avanto MRI. This new MRI provides a quieter, quicker and more comfortable MRI experience for patients. It offers 97 percent acoustic noise reduction without compromising image quality and also provides fast image acquisition with parallel imaging in all dimensions, including head-to-toe, front-to-back and side-to-side. Patients can now experience the shortest exam times available for MRI scans.

Previously, a full-body scan required up to three positionings. The Avanto can perform the full-body scan in about 12 to 15 minutes with just one positioning. For patients suffering from claustrophobia, the feet-first entry of the Avanto provides a more comfortable environment. The Avanto also has a cardiac diagnostic application with the ability to image coronary artery and cardiac valve abnormalities through non-invasive techniques.

3D Reconstruction
Additionally, 3D volumetric image reconstruction is used to further enhance multislice CT and high-speed MRI with applications in many fields, including radiology, vascular, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, hematology, oncology surgery, plastic surgery, gastroenterology and more. 3DR is faster and more efficient for physicians and makes it easier for them to interpret film images.

Siemens Magnetom Symphony MRI
Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics is bringing the latest diagnostic technology, a Siemens Magnetom Symphony MRI with 1.5T magnet, to patients throughout the region, thanks to our new mobile MRI. This powerful MRI provides the same quality of images as our hospital-based Avanto MRI, and is almost as quick, providing total body scans in less than 20 minutes. It can accommodate disabled patients with a special lift, wheelchair and gurney capabilities. The mobile MRI unit is scheduled daily in locations throughout east Texas.
