HiSpeed CT/e for Urology: Clinical Benefits

Computed Tomography

Expedite Care

In-office HiSpeed CT/e

The number one priority is providing your patient the best care possible. With your own HiSpeed CT/e you:

  • Obtain faster results and improved diagnostic confidence
  • Provide patient comfort and convenience
  • Avoid common delays for non-emergent scan requests
  • Gain real-time access to images for manipulation – an additional diagnostic tool


Commonly Ordered CT Studies:

  • Abdomen/Pelvis: Staging for Cancer
  • Adrenal Glands: R/O Tumors
  • Kidneys: R/O Cysts or Tumors
  • Kidney Stones


These exams constitute many outbound referrals. With CT/e in your office or clinic, you can provide convenience and clinical benefits to both the patient and practice.

*Under certain circumstances, an outside radiologist may be required for interpretation of images. Please also note that the federal law known as the Stark Law imposes certain requirements which must be met in order for physicians to bill Medicare/Medicaid or other federal states, similar laws cover billing for all patients. We recommend consulting with your reimbursement manager or healthcare consultant, as well as experienced legal counsel, prior to any expansion of service.


Diagnostic Confidence

Direct Access to Imaging Tools

Immediate Access to Images : Reading images from hard copy, or even from films, limits diagnostic viewing capabilities. With CT/e, you can:

  • Manipulate the images directly
  • Gain flexibility to change the Window/Level
  • Page thorough images real time
  • View the data in additional planes


(With the Reformat program you can view anatomy in the coronal, sagital axial or oblique plane.)

Bottom line: Real-time manipulation of data helps provide diagnostic confidence.


Enhanced Reputation

Differentiate Your Practice

Set yourself apart from other physicians and clinics:

Having CT in your practice sends the message to medical professionals and to patients that you are willing to invest in healthcare, and that your practice is on leading edge of medical technology.


Clinical Flexibility and Growth

Advanced Clinical Applications

There are many options, that can add clinical value to your practice, including 3D and FastRecon. Of Particular note are:

1 Second Scan Time (faster scanning) Combined with HiSpeed CT/e’s helical technology will help you by:

  • Acquire data faster
  • Improve image quality
  • Reduce motion artifacts
  • Increase patient comfort


SmartPrep helps elminate the guesswork by allowing you to monitor contrast as it enhances. You can easily see when the organ of interest begins approaching peak enhancement, and begin your helical exam.
