The good news: we are making significant progress against the most challenging obstacles to diagnostic confidence in every imaging modality. Here are some examples of what that looks like.
Empowering radiologists, the unsung heroes of value-based care
The past 30 years have seen medical imaging technology revolutionize the way we deliver healthcare. Today, more patients than ever undergo diagnostic imaging scans, making radiologists the often-invisible hero in determining their path to confident diagnosis and treatment.
Conventional CT scans often produce ambiguous or inaccurate data resulting in a need for additional testing. For example, in cases where a conventional image from a scan lacks the clarity typically provided by IV contrast, the resulting scan can be indeterminate, necessitating additional exams and resources.
IQon Spectral CT is the world’s first and only detector-based spectral CT which consistently captures spectral information without special planning or set-up.
Diagnostic certainty exists when multiple layers of spectral data allow the first exam to be the right exam, whether it’s with MonoE images, iodine images, virtual non-contrast images or Z effective images. In addition, IQon Spectral CT has been shown to reduce average scan cost.*
