Modern imaging techniques include CT scans (Computed Tomography), which are rapid and painless diagnostic tests. A CT scan utilizes an X-ray machine that rotates to capture cross-sectional images, also known as slices, of various body parts. This process provides detailed images of bones, lungs, blood vessels, and organs. At Islamabad Diagnostic Centre, we are proud to introduce our 640-slice CT scan, which offers enhanced precision and accuracy in imaging.
The 640-slice CT scan represents the latest technology in medical imaging. It is a highly precise and ultra-fast CT scanner that captures images in a single rotation. Unlike conventional CT scanners, this advanced model boasts ultra-fast speed, enhanced accuracy and precision, and significantly reduced scanning time. It is also a safer option for patients due to its low radiation exposure. As a result, the scan produces high-resolution 3D images of the body, leading to more accurate and reliable diagnoses.
The following features of a 640 Slice CT scan make it different from a conventional CT scanner:
When examining larger organs such as the heart, kidneys, and lungs, a conventional CT scanner (16, 64, or 68 slices) requires multiple cycles and rotations to capture images from different angles.
640-slice CT Scanner needs only a single rotation to cover the entire organs
A beating heart is difficult to capture with conventional CT Scanners as it blurs the image, and it can only capture an image if the heart rate is controlled. Whereas a 640 Slice CT scan captures the full cycle in one heartbeat while keeping the motion static and frozen.
Patients choose the latest 640-slice CT scanner due to its significant advantage of low radiation exposure during the main analysis.
16-slice and 128-slice CT scanners are suitable for routine body imaging in trauma cases and simple scans. In contrast, 640-slice scanners are used for analyzing complex and critical clinical cases, such as assessing children’s heart conditions, examining the coronary arteries, or evaluating blood flow through organs to check for any obstructions.
A 640-slice CT Scanner is best used to diagnose some complex conditions like:
CT Coronary angiography is an image analysis of coronary arteries using 640 Slice CT scan.
To perform CT Coronary angiography using 640-slice CT includes following requirements:
Practice for 10–15 seconds.
Single command: "Breathe in and hold".
Warm feeling during injection.
Pelvic tingling.
Metallic taste in mouth.
Really hot feeling.
Patient lies supine on the CT table.
Raise arms over the head during the examination.
Remain comfortable.
Heart positioned at the centre of the scan field.
After acquisition of the CT Coronary Angiography, post-processing is performed on advanced workstations such as Vitrea, and Advantage Workstation (AW). Coronary arteries are analyzed using Multi-Planar Reformations (MPR), Curved Planar Reformations (CPR), Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP), and Volume Rendering Technique (VRT) to accurately assess and grade the severity of coronary artery stenosis, evaluate plaque morphology, quantify coronary calcium, and generate comprehensive diagnostic reports.
Islamabad Diagnostic Centre ‘s latest 640 Slice CT scan technology Is making imaging Analysis more convenient, time saving, faster and reliable for the patients as well as for the healthcare professionals for accurate diagnoses and 3D Visualization of any abnormalities in the organs that can be lethal and life threatening if not identify earlier.
640 Slice CT scan technology captures the whole organ with single rotation and detect any congenital abnormalities, coronary arteries obstructions and other related heart conditions.
This latest technology uses 80% less radiation exposure then the conventional and out-dated CT scanners.

The purpose of a 640-slice CT scanner is to deliver fast, precise, and low-dose diagnostic imaging, particularly for complex cardiac, neurological, vascular, and oncologic conditions.
A 640-slice CT scanner can capture up to 640 images (slices) in a single rotation, and a full CT examination may produce several thousand reconstructed images for diagnostic interpretation.
640 Slice CT scan can capture the entire heart in a single rotation in about 5 secs.
A 640-slice CT scanner is best for heart imaging because it can image the entire heart in a single heartbeat, producing highly detailed, accurate images with fewer motion artifacts, lower radiation exposure, and faster scan times. This makes it especially valuable for diagnosing coronary artery disease and other complex cardiac conditions.
In Pakistan, Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) located at Islamabad F-8 Markaz and Jail Road Lahore has introduced the modern 640 Slice CT scan for patient convenience and better results.
