512-Slice CT in Istanbul is available at 4 hospitals in the Voumed network.

512-slice CT is a very fast, high-detail computed tomography scanner that captures a large number of thin image slices with each rotation. By gathering so much information so quickly, it can build detailed three-dimensional pictures of the body in a single short breath-hold. This speed is especially valuable for imaging moving organs such as the heart, where a fast scan freezes motion and produces sharp images. It uses X-rays, like all CT, but modern scanners of this kind are designed to keep the radiation dose as low as possible.
