Heart and lung scans provide early detection of heart disease, lung cancer and other abnormalities, even when symptoms may not be noticeable. Preventative screening is crucial for early detection and allows you to make informed decisions about your care and can lead to better treatment and a more successful outcome.

High-Quality Images at Low Dose
Our SOMATOM go.All CT from Siemens Healthineers is Nevada’s only machine from this company and offers high image quality and low dose imaging. This provides excellent imaging for preventative diagnostics. The innovative design helps provide excellent image quality. System speed and reliability mean you spend less time in the scanner and less time waiting for results. Increased patient safety is provided by using advanced dose reduction technology. Additional offerings from this machine include:
In this type of medical imaging study, the patient lies on a table while the CT scanner takes a series of images, known as slices, of the inside of the body. The slices can be reassembled in a computer program to create a three-dimensional image to reveal interesting structures, abnormal growths, and other features.
Dose Reduction Features
• Innovative technology automates customized dose for each patient based on size, weight, and anatomy, providing high-quality images at a minimized dose.
• Industry’s leading detector material provides exceptional image detail at reduced dose.
Exceptional Clinical Benefits
• Fast, minimally invasive vasculature evaluation of the neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
• Cutting-edge technology delivers high-quality images, allowing visualization of small details.
A low dose Computed Tomography (CT) scan provides an image of the inside of a patient’s body with minimal radiation. This reduces risks for the patient by limiting overall radiation exposure in association with the medical imaging study. Developments in CT technology by Siemens have resulted in considerable improvements in low dose equipment, making higher doses of radiation increasingly unnecessary.
In this type of medical imaging study, the patient lies on a table while the CT Scanner takes a series of images, known as slices, of the inside of the body. The slices can be reassembled in a computer program to create a three dimensional image to reveal interesting structures, abnormal growths, and other features.
Patients who receive a low dose scan have a much lower amount of radiation exposure. The equipment can also use multiple detectors, allowing several slices to be captured at once. This reduces the amount of time the patient has to spend in the machine and also lowers the overall dose. Technicians can carefully compute the dosage settings on the equipment to tailor them to the patient, producing a low dose CT scan that will provide exceptional resolution with the least risks for the patient.
