Technology enabling fewer invasive cardiac procedures benefits Glasgow children

Clinicians at Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children are now able to scan patients’ hearts in just one heartbeat thanks to the installation of GE Healthcare’s Revolution* CT. The technology’s ability to freeze the heart’s motion helps to produce high quality diagnostic images, even for patients with erratic or high heart rates which may have led to poor quality images in the past. This helps reduce the need for invasive examination procedures and allows for quick and confident diagnoses of heart disease.
