  • Descripción del producto
    The GENERAL ELECTRIC tomography equipment is designed to: obtain, process and offer images of different planes osections of the body taken at different angles and planes by X-ray technology that are reconstructed in the equipment as three-dimensional models of body structures destined to the diagnosis of the whole body and of selected parts of the body in patients of all ages. Obtain, process and offer images of different planes or sections of the body taken at different angles and planes using X-ray technology that are reconstructed in the equipment as three-dimensional models of bodily structures in order to serve as diagnostic tool for diseases, traumas or anomalies, as well as to plan, guide and supervise the treatment. The system can be used as a diagnostic imaging support in minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies and ablation of tumors and pathologies. The system can acquire anatomical images of ct (computed tomography) that are useful in clinical terms for simulation and treatment planning.
