"Breathing artifact, which causes image blurring, has been reduced with the 320-slice CT. This means that we have better diagnostic confidence," says Dr. Narinder Paul, Medical Imaging Site Director at TGH. "We're at the point where we can start to look past anatomy and start to look at organ perfusion."

Through the use of the 320-slice CT, radiologists at UHN hope to open the field for more new applications of the technology, such as examining brain perfusion, the prevention of cardiac disease, and surgical treatment mapping.
