The Department of Radiology of Capitol Medical Center has a dedicated team of Radiologists who strive to achieve the best possible Computed Tomography imaging at the lowest exposure dose under the guidance of Dr. Jackson U. Dy, head of CMC CT scan section.

The CT scan is the world’s first adaptive scanner in maintaining the intricate details of the images. Stemming from our commitment in providing the best care now and into the future, CMC is proud to bring the best technology in the world.

The Capitol Medical Center (CMC) Computed Tomography Section uses the 128-slice Toshiba Aquilion CX, one of the latest generations in a line of CT scanners. The said machine can scan the whole body in seconds and provide incredibly 3d images of any organ.

The Toshiba Aquilion CT is design to boost productivity and expand the number of clinical applications possible. It also provides ultimate platform for treating a broader range of patients by performing a wider range of procedures. Hi-definition reconstruction algorithms providing 0.35-mm spatial resolution and 2-mm at 0.3% low-contrast resolution. With these in mind, CT scan is one of the most important methods of radiological diagnosis. It will help the hospital expand its service to more physicians and specialist.

The CMC Department of Radiology can provide CT examinations like cancer detection, pulmonary angiography or pulmonary embolism, cerebral angiography and prefusion for stroke evaluation and CT colonagraphy. It delivers non-superimposed, cross-sectional images of the body, which can allow smaller contrast differences than conventional x-ray images. This allow better visualization of specific differently structured soft-tissue regions, which could otherwise not be visualized satisfactorily.
