Technological advances, allowing doctors to harness the benefits of 3D chest imaging at effective doses.

Validity and accuracy of result

Ultra Low DoseComputed Tomography (Ultra Low Dose Computed Tomography) is set to upend the status quo in health science with its superiority in terms of superior sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy. In a comparison of ULDCT with X-ray, the former scores a better approach in detecting pneumonia and pneumothorax, according to latest scientific studies. The added value of ULDCT is highlighted by the validity of the results, with evidence of a 20%reduction in false positive and false negative investigations of radiography. Of particular importance is also the high ability to detect solid pulmonary nodules in lung cancer screening, regardless of the patient’s body type, gender or age.

Comfort and early diagnosis for the examinee

The sophisticated technology available at Encephalonos Halandriou, allows the provision of high quality services, with valid results without inconveniencing the examinee. With the new data, ULD Lung CT can practically replace X-ray, enabling the treating physician to obtain better results. ULDCT is indicated for “screening” tests (detection of small cancers or metastases), as well as for early detection of lung lesions. It is important for monitoring lung diseases, such as pneumonia or covid, and for further investigation of plain radiography findings.

The best choice for your health

In the diagnostic center “Euromedica Brain of Halandri”, apart from CT lung scans, a wide range of CT scans are performed, such as CT coronary angiography, angiography and whole-body scans. Especially for heart cases, the CT scanner depicts the heart in one pulse, allowing tests to be performed in cases that until recently were prohibitive, such as in patients with atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, obese or patients with stents.

The state-of-the-art technological equipment, experienced doctors and trained staff make “Encephalon Halandriou” a top choice for every examinee, as it combines high quality diagnostic services with direct service in a modern and friendly environment.
