Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center | Steward Family Hospital

CT scan technology has advanced over the years and is an increasingly powerful and effective tool in the diagnosis and treatment of countless injuries and diseases. A CT scan uses special X-ray equipment to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body and a computer to join them together in cross-sectional and three dimensional views of the area being studied. During the scan, a thin beam of X-ray is focused on a specific part of your body. The X-ray tube moves very rapidly around this area, enabling multiple images to be made from different angles to create a cross-sectional picture. The X-ray beam information goes to the electronic detector and then into a computer, which analyzes the information and constructs an image for the radiologist to interpret.

CT examinations improve health care and are an essential part of diagnosis and treatment planning. However, there are some risks associated with the level of radiation exposure during a CT and therefore the medical benefit of conducting the exam should always outweigh any risks involved. No direct data have shown that CT examinations are associated with an increased risk of cancer; estimates from studies of radiation exposure suggest there is a very small incremental risk.

Safety is a paramount concern at St. Elizabeth Medical Center’s Radiology-CT Department. St. Elizabeth’s utilizes state-of-the-art CT equipment with a special technology that significantly reduces the amount of radiation used during a test. In our main department on Medeiros 4, we have Philips Brilliance CT 64-channel and Brilliance CT 16-slice scanners. Our Emergency Room is specially equipped with a Philips ICT 256-slice scanner. Exam dose reports are sent to the American College of Radiology Dose Index Registry to closely monitor radiation dose. We employ a medical physicist to work closely with our CT equipment and its manufacturers to ensure that patients are receiving the lowest possible dose of radiation. The radiology team closely monitors radiation doses and exam quality, and makes changes when necessary to create the safest environment for patients.

CT technologists at St. Elizabeth’s are specially trained to optimize the quality of your CT scan. We are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Radiation Control and accredited by the American College of Radiology. All of our CT technologists have special training and qualifications in CT imaging from The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. St. Elizabeth’s CT technologists receive ongoing education and updates on CT imaging and radiation exposure to stay current on the latest information in the field.

CT scans are performed in the main radiology department on CMP 4. There is also a CT scanner in the Emergency Department that is used for certain outpatient non-ED exams as well. You should report to CMP 4 for scanning unless instructed otherwise.

Outpatient CT scan appointments are available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Women’s Radiology Imaging Services

St. Bernards Outpatient Imaging Center is the most advanced imaging facility in the region, specializing in providing digital imaging services to women. 

Full-Field Digital Mammography

An annual mammogram is one of the most important exams for women 40 and older. St. Bernards features full-field 3-d digital mammography, producing superior images that allow radiologists the ability to zoom in and closely examine areas, as needed.
The Imaging Center has three digital mammography units to make scheduling easy and to help reduce patient wait times. A fourth unit is contained in St. Bernards Mobile Women’s Health Unit.

If you’re 40 years of age and over, click here to see if you should schedule a screening mammogram. 

Mobile Women’s Health Unit

St. Bernards Mobile Women’s Health Unit is a large pink RV-type vehicle that travels to clinics, employer locations, public events and rural areas to provide breast care. The goal ofthe unit is to improve access to care by reaching women who may not otherwise receive prevention services, such as mammography. An education coordinator travels with the unit to spread the message of the importance of preventative care and women’s health.   

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

St. Bernards is the first in the area to offer bilateralenhanced breast MRI, used to investigate breast concerns detected by a mammogram or other imaging services. Another use is to evaluate the progress stage of breast cancer when it is detected so appropriate treatment can be determined. 

Stereotactic Biopsy System

This technology allows for a needle biopsy of lesions, rather than a surgical biopsy. This shortens the time to obtain a biopsy and the subsequent wait for results. 

Ultrasound

Our dedicated team of registered technologists specializes in breast, abdomen, pelvic, thyroid, obstetrics and vascular studies. Ultrasound assisted procedures at the Imaging Center include breast core biopsy, breast mammotome biopsy, breast needle localization, thyroid biopsy and cyst aspiration.

Breast Health Navigator

At St. Bernards, no woman must face breast cancer alone. The Imaging Center provides the region’s only breast health navigator—a registered nurse practitioner with breast health specialist certification—who assists patients with one-on-one care from screening through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

In addition to imaging services, St. Bernards offers genetic testing for hereditary risk assessment to determine the presence of mutations of BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which put women at a higher risk for developing breast or ovarian cancer.

Breast Assured Program

The Breast Assured Program is grant-funded and provides women without health insurance and those who do not qualify for Breastcare, Medicare or Medicaid the opportunity to seek breast care. Services covered include digital screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds and biopsy services, if needed.
Interested women may apply by requesting forms when registering for a mammogram at the St. Bernards Imaging Center. To inquire about qualifications and coverage prior to your appointment, call 870.207.8000.

CT Scan – St. Clair Health

CT, Computed Tomography, is a painless, imaging (x-ray) test that allows technologists to take a series of detailed pictures of almost any part of your body. 

A CT scanner is an imaging device that allows radiologists to see detailed pictures of the body, including the heart, coronary arteries andlungs. Capabile of also detecting blood clots, tumors, and evidence of stroke, a CT scanner’s advanced technology is a valuable tool for a physician in diagnosing conditions that might not be visible on a traditional x-ray.

Each picture is of an area, or “slice” of your body, that doctors can then examine either individually or in a 3-D image.  This advanced technology is a valuable tool for diagnosing conditions and abnormalities that might not be seen on traditional x-rays.

St. Clair Hospital’s CT services include a 64 Slice GE VCT XT Volumetric scanner that provides images with faster reconstruction, faster scan times and optimum resolution, often eliminating the need for invasive procedures.  It serves inpatients, outpatients and Emergency Department patients seven days a week.

What is CTA?

CTA, or Computed Tomography Angiography, is a special type of CT that allows doctors to see the blood flow  through your arteries and veins, using an iodine-based contrast material that you take orally or intravenously.  CTA can show abnormalities or blockages, including heart disease, pulmonary embolism, blood clots, aneurysm, stroke or other blood vessel disorders. The Hospital’s 64 Slice CT Scanner can scan coronary arteries in only five seconds, with optimum resolution. The highly defined and detailed information captured from its images can detect heart disease before a patient has any symptoms and can often spare a patient from undergoing an invasive procedure.

Scheduling a CT/CTA

To schedule your CT/CTA appointment, please call St. Clair Hospital’s Medical Imaging Department at 412.942.8150.  When you call to schedule, please have your prescription and any required authorization numbers available.

How Do I Prepare for the CT/CTA Exam?

• You will be informed when you schedule your appointment if there are any special preparations needed for the type of CT that your doctor has ordered.  Please follow any instructions carefully and completely.
• Some CT scans require that you fast prior to your scheduled appointment. 
• You might be asked to drink an oral contrast agent prior to your scheduled appointment time and might also be administered an intravenous iodine injection during your CT
• If you are having intravenous contrast, you will also be asked to increase your fluid intake prior to your appointment.
• When you arrive for your appointment, you might be asked to change into a hospital gown and will be assigned a locker to hold your personal items.
• Please leave jewelry and other valuables at home.

What Will Happen During the CT/CTA?

• You will be asked to lie on a table that slides in and out of a doughnut shaped ring.
• The technologist will be in the adjoining control room and you will be able to talk to each other throughout the procedure via an intercom.
• It is important to remain still while the CT is being performed because any movement will cause the images to blur.
• Certain types of CT scans might require the technologist to give you specific breathing instructions.
• The length of your test will vary depending on what type you are having but the average length of time you will be on the table will be 10-15 minutes.

What Will Happen After the CT/CTA?

Our staff of board-certified Radiologists will review the images and a report will be sent to your personal physician. He or she will discuss the results with you.  If your physician has requested copies of the  images, please inform the technologist before you leave.

After your CT or CTA is finished, you may resume your normal activities. If you had contrast, you should increase your fluid intake for the rest of the day.  This will help flush the contrast from your body. 

Special Instructions

• Because some CT scans and all CTA exams require the use of an intravenous iodine contrast agent, please inform the scheduler if you have had a previous reaction to contrast.
• If the use of intravenous iodine is absolutely necessary and, depending on the type of reaction you have had, you might receive pre-medication instructions from a medical imaging nurse.
• At the time of your appointment, you will be asked if you have any known kidney disease, high blood pressure or diabetes.  If you have a history of any of these conditions, your kidney function will be tested through a simple blood test that will check your Creatinine level.

CT Scan | Saint Joseph Mercy Health System

Imaging Your Body for Diagnosis

CT (Computerized Tomography) uses X-ray and special detectors to provide detailed images of your body.

These images are cross-sectional, giving many different views of the same body part. Different body parts absorb radiation in various degrees, allowing visualization of many shades of black and white. A contrast agent may also be used to enhance the tissues to a greater extent.

CT is used in, but not limited to, diagnoses of many different cancers, vascular diseases, bone fractures, guided biopsies and pre-surgical planning. This test is painless and emits a very low amount of radiation.

How do you prepare?

The following preparations are required for your appointment:

• Depending on the exam you are having, you may be asked to arrive 15 minutes to 2 hours before your scheduled appointment time. You will be given arrival instructions when you schedule the appointment.
• Wear loose clothing with no zippers or buttons. No jewelry.
• If the scan is for your head, neck or face, you will be asked to remove hearing aids, dentures, hairpins, etc.
• Depending on the exam you are having, you may be asked to refrain from eating prior to the exam. You will be given instructions when you schedule the appointment.
• You can take all necessary medications, as prescribed, prior to your appointment. Please consult your physician if you have any questions about your medications.

What can you expect during the procedure?

An IV will be accessed prior to any exam that requires intravenous contrast material. Once all preparations are in place, you’ll then be asked to lie on the imaging table and a technologist will position you for the exam.

The table will move through the gantry – a tube-like device that houses the x-ray tube and detectors – to capture your images. Your CT scan will only take a few minutes to complete and, in most cases, you can resume normal daily activities immediately after.

When will you get results?

Your exam will be read by a board-certified radiologist and the report is usually transferred to your physician within 1 to 2 business days. Additional time may be needed for your physician to review and correlate with other tests that you have had. If you have not heard anything within 5 business days after your exam, please contact your physician’s office.

More Information About Our CT Scan Services

The resulting images can be compared to looking down at single slices of bread from a loaf. The doctor will be able to look at each of these slices individually or perform additional visualization to view the patient’s body from different angles. In some cases, CT images can be combined to create three-dimensional images. CT scan images can provide much more information than traditional X-rays.

A CT scan has many uses but is particularly well-suited to quickly examine people who may have internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma. A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and can be done in a hospital or an outpatient facility. CT scans are painless and typically take only a few minutes to complete.

CT scanners are shaped like a large doughnut standing on its side. The patient lies on a narrow table that slides into the “doughnut hole,” which is called a gantry. Straps and pillows may help the patient stay in position. During a CT scan of the head, the table may be fitted with a special cradle that holds the head still. The table will move slowly through the gantry during the CT scan, as the gantry rotates in a circle around the patient. Each rotation yields several images of thin slices of the body. A technologist will be nearby in a separate room and will be able to communicate with the patient through an intercom. The technologist may ask the patient to hold their breath at certain points to avoid blurring the images.

A CT scan may be recommended to help:

• Diagnose muscle and bone disorders, such as bone tumors and fractures
• Pinpoint the location of a tumor, infection or blood clot
• Guide procedures such as surgery, biopsy and radiation therapy
• Detect and monitor diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, lung nodules and liver masses
• Detect internal injuries and internal bleeding

A special dye called contrast material is needed for some CT scans to help highlight the areas of the body that are being examined. The contrast material blocks X-rays and appears white on images, which can help emphasize blood vessels, intestines or other structures.

Contrast material can enter the body in a two ways:

• Oral – If the esophagus or stomach is being scanned, the patient may need to swallow a liquid that contains contrast material.
• Injection – Contrast agents can be injected through a vein in the arm to help view the gallbladder, urinary tract, liver or blood vessels. A feeling of warmth during the injection or a metallic taste in the mouth may occur.

On rare occasions some patients have a reaction to the contrast material used in a CT scan. Although uncommon, the contrast material has the potential to cause medical problems or allergic reactions. Most reactions are mild and result in a rash or itchiness. In unusual instances, an allergic reaction can be serious and potentially life-threatening. The patient should notify the doctor if they have ever had a reaction to contrast material.

Radiation exposure during a CT scan poses some risk. During a CT scan, the patient is briefly exposed to much more radiation than during a traditional X-ray. Radiation from imaging tests has a small potential to increase the risk of cancer. CT scans have many benefits that typically outweigh the potential risks. Doctors use the lowest dose of radiation whenever possible. Newer machines and techniques may expose the patient to less radiation and patients should talk with their doctor about the benefits and risks of the CT scan.

The radiation can also potentially cause harm to unborn babies. Patients should notify their doctor if they are pregnant or believe they could be pregnant. Another type of exam may be recommended, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to avoid the risk of exposing the fetus to the radiation.

The preparation for a CT scan depends on which part of the body is being scanned. The patient may be asked to:

• Take off some or all of their clothing and wear a hospital gown
• Remove any metal objects, such as a belt or jewelry, which might interfere with image results
• Stop eating a few hours before the scan

If an infant or toddler is having a CT scan, the doctor may recommend a sedative to keep the child calm and still. Movement blurs the images and may lead to inaccurate results. Parents should ask the doctor how to best prepare their child.

After the exam, the patient may return to their normal routine. Those given a contrast material may receive special instructions. In some cases, the patient may be asked to wait for a short time before leaving to ensure that they feel well after the exam. After the scan, the patient should drink lots of fluids to help their kidneys remove the contrast material from their body.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has designated Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare and St. Elizabeth Medical Center as Computed Tomography Centers of Excellence.

CAT Scan | Outpatient Diagnostic Center | Saint Joseph Hospital

What is a CAT SCAN?
This is an x-ray that uses a special scanner and computer to produce detailed pictures. You will be asked to lie down on the CT table, please be aware that the table will move and the CT Scan will make sounds during your scan. It is very important that you relax and don’t move. The technologist will watch the scan from another room and give your directions on when to breathe via a speaker. The longest scan should be complete within 30 minutes. The radiologist will look at your pictures and a report will be sent to your ordering physician, normally reports are sent to your physician within three (3) days. If you are given oral contrast to drink, it is best to do so within 5 to 10 minutes. The contrast will need to be in your system for 60 minutes prior to the start of your scan.

What do I do if there is a possibility that I might be pregnant?
If there is a possibility that you are pregnant, please tell the technologist before the scan.

Are any activities restricted after this procedure?
No, you may continue your normal activities.

Do I need to make changes to my diet?
Continue your normal diet; no restrictions are necessary following this scan. Drink plenty of fluids for the rest of the day unless contraindicated.

Do I need to adjust any medications?
Your medicines should not be stopped unless your doctor tells you to.

My doctor requested that I bring my films to my next appointment, what do I do?
Saint Joseph has implemented a new imaging archiving system which allows physicians to digitally view your images in their offices. The technologist that performs your procedure will also be able to provide you with a CD (computerized disk) to take with you upon request. If you did not receive a CD from the technologist and you need a copy of your images, you can also contact the Radiology Imaging Library at 859.313.2290. If someone else is going to pick up your CD, you must call us and give us their information and they must present a picture ID.

CT Scans in St. Petersburg, FL

Why your doctor might order a CT scan

CT scans are performed for a wide variety of reasons. Your doctor will talk to you about why he or she recommends that you have a CT scan in St. Petersburg. Here are some reasons that patients are referred to us for this diagnostic imaging:

• Cancer or tumor follow-up.
  If you are having a tumor diagnosed or if you have been having cancer treatment for some time, a CT scan can determine exactly where the tumor is and whether treatment is working.
• Detection of internal injuries.
  If you have been in a car accident or had some other physical trauma, a CT scan can help your doctor determine the extent of your injuries, if any.
• Changes in health conditions.
  Heart disease, liver disease, lung conditions, and other health concerns can be monitored with periodic CT scans.
• Bone and joint problems.
  A CT scan will show more detail than a traditional x-ray and might be the diagnostic test of choice when you have a complex fracture or there is a suspicion of a tumor in a joint.
• Muscle disorders.
  A CT scan can show issues with muscles of the body that might not be working the way they should be.

Remember, these are only examples of reasons that you might be referred to Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics for a CT scan. If you have questions about why you need your test, please ask your doctor for more information.

What to expect when you have a CT scan at Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics

When you arrive at Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics for your CT scan, you will first answer some questions about your health history, whether you have ever had contrast dye, and whether there is any chance you might be pregnant. When you schedule your test, you will be given instructions as to whether you should avoid eating for a certain period of time. Confirm with the technologist that you have followed those directions.

Next, the technologist will check your clothing that is covering the part of the body you are having scanned. Metal will interfere with the image, so if you have any jewelry, a belt with a metal buckle, or metal buttons on your clothing, you might need to remove it or put on scrubs.

If you are having contrast dye for your test, that will be administered. Depending on what type of CT scan you are having, it might be a drink that you swallow before the exam begins or a liquid that goes into your bloodstream via an IV or injection. Let the technologist know how you are feeling after having the contrast dye. If you have an IV, you might feel warm or cold and experience a metallic taste in your mouth. All of those side effects are normal and common. If you feel itchy, let the technologist know, as it could be a sign of a mild reaction to the dye.

During the CT scan itself, you will lay on a table that will move back and forth through the scanner, which is shaped like a ring. The x-rays are taken from the inside circumference of the circle. It is important that you stay still to avoid blurring the image. The technologist might ask you to hold your breath for several seconds at some points to minimize movement in your abdomen and chest. You will be able to communicate with the technologist during the test. A CT scan is a quick test, ranging from a few minutes to about 15 minutes in length.

After the test is over, you will be able to drive yourself home or to work and continue with your normal routine. If you had contrast dye, you should drink extra water for the next day or two to help clear it from your system. Your technologist will give you instructions to follow. Your doctor will have the radiologist’s report within 48 hours of your test.

 The difference between a CT scan and an MRI

Many patients are unsure of the difference between a CT scan and an MRI. Both can create various images that can help your doctor diagnose, confirm, or rule out health conditions, but there are a few important differences.

First, an MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create the images, while a CT scan uses x-rays. 

As far as the experience goes, a high-field MRI takes place inside of a tube or tunnel, and you will hear banging and thumping sounds. While these sounds are harmless and normal, some patients feel nervous. Open MRI machines are an option in some cases for claustrophobic patients. During a CT scan, there are no loud noises, and the ring that moves around you leaves a lot of open space, so you will be able to see around you. 

Your doctor will decide which type of diagnostic scan is appropriate for your unique situation. Talk to your doctor about which is right for you.

Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics provides CT scans to patients with no insurance

At Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics, we understand that finances can be an issue, particularly for patients with no health insurance. We participate as in-network providers for several insurance companies. In addition, we might be able to see you as an out-of-network provider if we do not participate with your plan. If you do not have health insurance, please call us to learn about our payment policies and fees.

Common patient concerns about CT scans

If this is the first time you will have a CT scan, it is understandable that you have questions and concerns. Please feel free to ask a member of our staff about any concerns you may have. Here are some common questions that are often asked:

• Why do I need (or not need) contrast dye?
  Whether you need contrast dye depends on the reason for your CT scan. Your doctor will decide whether the dye is needed.
• Will I be exposed to radiation?
  Yes, a CT scan will use radiation. Let the technologist know if you are pregnant. A CT scan can be done during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the possible risk. Talk to your doctor about this concern if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
• Will I need sedation if I am claustrophobic?
  No, a CT scan is not likely to cause anxiety in claustrophobic patients. If you do need sedation for this test, it is important that you have someone drive you to and from your appointment.

If you need to schedule a CT scan at Saint Pete MRI & Sleep Diagnostics, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

90,000 Color scanning of A4, A3 documents, photographs around the clock in Moscow. Scan fast, cheap, near metro

We translate paper documents into electronic form. Available in black and white and color scanning of documents of all sizes – from standard A4 pages to drawings and posters A0.

Modern document circulation dictates its own conditions for the methods of storing documents: often there is a need to translate documents of the “classic” type, on paper, into electronic form.The technical process for this conversion is called scanning.

Scanning of documents and drawings in copy centers “CopyMax” is performed in black and white and color versions. The scanned document is saved on the customer’s USB stick or CD. If you have not taken care of your data carrier in advance – that’s okay, you can purchase it from us. Black and white scanning of text documents can be accompanied by a text recognition operation (converting received images and PDF files into editable format).

Scanning of multi-page documents of A4-A3 formats is carried out in automatic mode.In this case, if the document was originally stapled, it is bridged, passed through the scanner’s automatic document feeder, and automatically saved to the computer as files. A flexible discount system operates on automatic A4-A3 scanning: if your document contains 50 pages or more, we will perform work on scanning it with a 20% discount.

If it is not possible to embroider a bound document before scanning, then it is scanned manually on flatbed scanners, or, as we say, “from glass”.This process takes longer than the automatic one, and the system of discounts for scanning does not work in this case.

Large-format broaching scanners are “engaged” in scanning drawings of A0, A1, A2 formats. It takes 10 seconds to scan A0 in black and white. A color scan of a drawing of the same format takes 3 minutes. The technology of pulling the scanned original imposes its limits on the process: it is possible to scan drawings up to 914 mm wide and media thickness up to 13 mm.In addition, a transparent original cannot be scanned (due to the light reflection technology used in the scanning equipment).

Color scanning of drawings is used not only when you need to get the corresponding file from the document. It is required to perform a color copy operation. Color copying of large format documents is a two-step process:

1. We carry out color scanning of drawings;
2. Then, from the received files, print the required number of copies.

3D terrestrial laser scanning

Despite the fact that the first terrestrial 3D scanners appeared in the last century, there is no reason to assert that 3D laser scanning technology is widely used in geodesy.The main reasons, perhaps, are the still high cost of such systems and the lack of information on how to effectively use them in certain applications. Nevertheless, interest in this technology and its demand in the market of geodetic equipment are growing exponentially every year.

What is a 3D laser scanner?

In terms of the type of information received, the device is in many ways similar to a total station.Similarly to the latter, the 3D scanner uses a laser rangefinder to calculate the distance to the object and measure the vertical and horizontal angles, obtaining XYZ coordinates. The difference from a total station is that a daily survey using a ground laser 3D scanner is tens of millions of measurements. Obtaining a similar volume of information from a total station will take more than one hundred years …

The initial result of a 3D laser scanner is a point cloud. During shooting, three coordinates (XYZ) and a numerical indicator of the intensity of the reflected signal are recorded for each of them.It is determined by the properties of the surface on which the laser beam hits. The point cloud is colored depending on the degree of intensity and after scanning it looks like a three-dimensional digital photo. Most modern models of laser scanners have a built-in video or photo camera, so that the point cloud can also be painted in real colors.

In general, the scheme of working with the device is as follows. The laser scanner is mounted on a tripod in front of the object being shot.The user sets the required point cloud density (resolution) and the survey area, then starts the scanning process. To obtain complete data about an object, as a rule, it is necessary to perform these operations from several stations (positions).

Then the initial data obtained from the scanner is processed and the measurement results are prepared in the form in which they are required by the customer. This stage is no less important than field work, and is often more time consuming and difficult.Profiles and sections, flat drawings, three-dimensional models, calculations of areas and volumes of surfaces – all this, as well as other necessary information can be obtained as the final result of working with the scanner.

Where can laser scanning be used?
Main Applications for 3D Scanning:
– industrial enterprises
– construction and architecture
– road survey
– mining

Laser scanning from Leica Geosystems – the history of laser scanners
The history of Leica laser scanners dates back to the 90s of the last century. The first model 2400, then still under the Cyra brand, was released in 1998. In 2001, Cyra became part of Leica Geosystems in the HDS (High-Definition Surveying) division. Now, 14 years later, Leica Geosystems is bringing a line of two scanning systems to the market.

As mentioned above, 3D laser scanning is used in completely different fields, and there is no universal scanner that would effectively solve all problems.
For surveying industrial objects, where a long range is not required, but the model must be very detailed (that is, an accurate high-speed device is needed), the Leica ScanStation P30 laser scanner is optimal: range up to 120 m, speed up to 1,000,000 points per second.

Completely different requirements are imposed on the scanner when it comes to surveying opencast mines and warehouses of bulk materials in order to calculate volumes.Here, the centimeter accuracy of the rangefinder is enough, and the shooting range and protection from weather and dust come to the fore. The ideal device for scanning in these conditions is the Leica HDS8810 with a range of up to 2,000 m and an IP65 dust and moisture protection. In addition, this device is the only one on the market of scanning systems that operates in the temperature range from -40 to +50 degrees. That is, the HDS8810 is a laser scanner that works in all weather conditions.

The key model of the HDS division of Leica Geosystems is the Leica ScanStation P40 .The famous and most popular ScanStation line in the world, the history of which began in 2006, was replenished in April 2015 with the P40 scanner. The P40 inherits accuracy and speed from the previous model, but with longer range and better data quality. In terms of the range of tasks to be solved, this device is truly a leader in its segment. It is no coincidence that despite the “youth” of this model, it has already gained wide popularity in the world.

Software for processing laser scanning data (point clouds)
It is impossible not to say a few words about the software for processing the data received from the scanner.Potential customers pay undeservedly little attention to this component of the 3D laser scanning system, although data processing and obtaining the final result of work are no less important stages of a project than field work. The Leica HDS software range is truly the broadest on the laser scanning market.

The main element of the spectrum is, of course, the complex Cyclone . This modular software system is rightfully considered the most popular in the world and has a large package of tools for processing data obtained with a scanner.Leica also has a number of more highly specialized programs. For those who are accustomed to working in traditional CAD systems, there is a series of Leica CloudWorx software products that are embedded in AutoCAD, MicroStation, AVEVA and SmartPlant, which allows users of these programs to work directly with point clouds. 3DReshaper builds high-quality triangulation models of object surfaces and allows you to monitor deformations by comparing surveys of the object taken at different time periods.The Leica HDS line of software even includes software for processing scan data in forensic science.

Thus, laser scanning from Leica Geosystems is a whole complex of software and hardware solutions. For every, even a highly specialized task, Leica has a scanner + program combination that will help you solve this task as efficiently as possible.

Color duplex scanning of the vessels of the neck, upper and lower extremities (USDG)

Currently, duplex scanning of blood vessels (ultrasound or ultrasonography of blood vessels) is the most demanded study in the diagnosis of vascular lesions.

The method of duplex scanning (sometimes called triplex mode) combines ultrasound imaging of the vessel wall and lumen in black and white mode, color coding of the flow (CFM) and spectral Doppler analysis.

Advantages:

• harmless to the patient,
• significantly lower cost compared to X-ray contrast angiography and MR-angiography,
• high information content (the possibility of studying the echo structure of vascular lesions and assessing the degree of functional hemodynamic disorders in the early preclinical stages of the disease),
• the possibility of frequent examination.

At the Audiomed Medical Center, you can make a duplex scan of the sections of the human vascular system: neck bridle, upper and lower limb bridgework.

Complications and side effects

There are no complications, side effects, or contraindications for the duplex scanning method (USDG).

According to the opinion of authoritative experts, reflected in the materials of the International Congress of Angiology (London 1995), duplex scanning is the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of vascular diseases.

Indications for duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries:

• Presence of risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis: smoking, hypodynamia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes mellitus, age over 40, unfavorable heredity, chronic stress factors.
• Headache Syndrome.
• Increased blood pressure.
• Different blood pressure in the upper limbs.
• Planning of surgical interventions for various types of cardiac pathology.
• Condition after operations on the vessels of the head and neck.
• Postponed stroke.
• Tumor-like formations on the neck.
• Existing vascular diseases of other localization.

Indications for duplex scanning of the arteries of the upper and lower extremities:

• Pain, numbness in the extremities at rest and during exertion.
• Change in the color of the skin.
• Violation of the hairline.
• Different blood pressure on the hands.
• A tendency to freeze fingers or toes.

The study of the basins of extracranial (neck) and intracranial (intracerebral) vessels is the most informative modern method for diagnosing cerebral circulation disorders, which makes it possible to assess not only the functional indicators of blood flow, but also anatomical changes in the vessel (patency, wall condition, bends, malformations, etc.).). Duplex scanning is also used to study the peripheral circulation, vessels of the lower and upper extremities.

The term “duplex” means a combination of two ultrasound modes: B-mode and Doppler. When examining in B-mode, the sensor of the device emits ultrasound of a certain frequency, which penetrates through the tissues. At the border of tissues with different densities, ultrasound is reflected and returned to the sensor. The sensor works in the so-called pulse mode, emitting ultrasound and picking up the reflected signal at various intervals.The further from the sensor is the reflective structure (also called echogenic), the more time passes between the moment of emission and reception of the signal. The multiple crystals of the ultrasonic probe (transducer) allow signals to be emitted at different angles with variable time delays. Thus, modern powerful systems allow almost instantaneous scanning and reconstruction of a two-dimensional image of the organ under study. Doppler mode is based on the “Doppler” effect – when it collides with a moving object, ultrasound is not only reflected, but also changes the frequency (“Doppler frequency shift”), the value of which is directly proportional to the speed of the object.In blood vessel studies, the “moving object” is red blood cells. Thus, the blood flow velocity is measured (more precisely, the velocity spectrum, since different flows in a vessel move at different speeds). Modern systems also make it possible to build a color cartogram of the flow in the vessel of interest – where the direction and intensity of blood flow are color coded. This method is called color Doppler mapping (DCM).

The combination of the two modes allows you to obtain important information both on the anatomy of the vessels, their lumen, the state of the wall, to assess morphological changes, and to assess the effect of these changes on the function of blood circulation, hemodynamics.Duplex scanning is a non-invasive way of assessing the state of blood vessels, it allows you to identify various pathologies, for example, stenosis, occlusion, atherosclerotic plaques, vascular malformations, etc.
