Most of the CT scanners used by Bangalore labs/Diagnostic centres are between 8 to 64 slices and few centers use 128 to 256 slices CT scanners. 320 to 640 slice scanners are also available in some of the CT scan centers in Bangalore. 4D CT technology already became popular in western nations. Below is a 4D CTA DSA (Computer Tomography Angiography vs Digital Subtraction Angiography) imaging of brain perfusion from Toshiba Scanners.

As we mentioned earlier, radiations emitted by CT scanners are usually measured in Millisievert (mSv). Modern CT Scanners provide very detailed images of blood vessels and internal organs by using very low radiation doses. Below image is a sample CT scan of the abdomen and thorax where the image is captured within a second and only 20 ml contrast material was given to the patient and the radiation dose is just 2.32 mSv.
