ALTEC High Field Performance Open MRI
is accommodating for any patient, even the largest adults and those with limited mobility. Advanced magnet technology and a powerful gradient system allow the Altaire to perform advanced clinical imaging technology such as:


  • Echo-planar imaging (EPI)-based-Diffusion-Weighted Imaging useful in the diagnosis of acute ischemia and other neurological disorders

  • MR Angiography including Contrast Enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) appropriate for vascular studies

  • RF Fat Saturation for enhanced visualization of musculoskeletal anatomy.

  • Single and Multi-shot EPI with ultra fast scanning techniques useful in evaluating high anxiety and trauma patients.


ALTEC’s High Field Open MRI can comfortably accommodate patients up to 500 pounds. ALTEC Diagnostic Imaging uses OMNISCAN contrast for the The Altair High Field MRI provides image quality comparable to closed bore systems and the comfort of Open MRI.



ALTEC's 1/2 second multi-slice CT scanner from Toshiba offers ultra-fast scanning with
multi-slice technology, which dramatically improves the diagnostic efficiency of CT exams. Only
the Aquilion can acquire true isotropic images with four 0.5mm slice acquisitions during a single rotation, providing highly detailed MPR and 3D views of anatomy and pathology.

This technology has the ability to detect smaller lesions and abnormalities which may not be
seen in conventional CT. Additional testing capabilities include:


  • Accurate Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring (CACS)

  • A Virtual Colonoscopy option

  • CT Angiography 

       

The Aquilion Super 4 system has dual head contrast injectors with saline bolus for increased patient safety. Visapaque contrast is used for prevention of negative patient reactions. With the Aquilion, patients will benefit with shorter exam times, single breath hold scanning and up to 40% dose reduction. ALTEC’s Multi-slice CT can comfortably accommodate patients up to 450 Pounds.



ALTEC offers the advanced technology of Quantum Digital Plain Film X-Ray. Quantum’s ultra high frequency x-ray generators utilize the world’s most advanced technology. This high powered unit provides increased speed and exceptional image quality while minimizing patient dose and reducing exposure time. ALTEC’s Digital X-ray can comfortably accommodate patients up to 600 pounds.



Reports.  At ALTEC Diagnostic Imaging, we understand that report accuracy
and turnaround time are just as important as high quality images to physicians and their patients
for early detection and diagnosis.

What truly makes ALTEC the best choice for physicians and patients is the Avreo Interworks Web Based Paperless Instant Image Viewing System. The Avreo program allows referring physicians to instantly view a patient’s image as soon as it has been scanned. ALTEC’s team of fellowshipped radiologists assess the image, then auto-deliver the report to the referring physician within 24 hours via fax, email or to a network printer. No more waiting for images and reports—your patient’s image can be viewed from any computer as soon as it has been scanned.
