Computed Tomography

Low Dose Computed Tomography (CT) | Coming November 2026

Fast, Accurate, AI Assisted Computer Tomography (CT) Imaging, with Low Radiation Doses in mind.

At The Radiology Company, we are proud to offer the advanced United Imaging uCT 780, a state-of-the-art CT scanner that combines exceptional image quality with cutting edge technology to deliver faster, safer, and more accurate diagnoses. Designed with advanced artificial intelligence and precision imaging capabilities through Deep Learning Algorithms, the uCT 780 produces outstanding diagnostic detail while helping to optimize and minimize radiation exposure to our patients. Its rapid scanning technology reduces examination times, enhances patient comfort, and delivers high-quality imaging across a wide range of clinical applications—including cardiac CT, CT angiography, trauma, oncology, and many more routine diagnostic examinations.

By investing in one of the world's most advanced CT platforms, we are ensuring our patients and referring clinicians benefit from faster access to exceptional diagnostic confidence, outstanding clinical accuracy, and an imaging experience that reflects the highest standards of modern healthcare.

As with all CT examinations, we ensure that the radiation dose is kept as low as reasonably achievable. Each patient and each scan is slightly different and your CT technician will speak with you prior to the exam, to ensure that the correct exam protocols and scan parameters are chosen. Followig your CT examination, one of our subspecialist reporting Radiologists will review the exam, and report directly back to your referring practitioner with findings and suggestions regarding diagnosis and further management.

But what about the radiation dose?

The radiation dose, as with all of our X-Ray, CT and DEXA examinations, is kept as low as reasonably achievable. Radiation is found all around us in the atmosphere: from Radon arising from the earth, to mobile phone cellular activity and the sunshine outside. As with all medical exams and procedures, there is a risk/benefit relationship to undergoing to the examination, and the benefit to such an exam (receiving a correct diagnosis to better manage your presneting symptom) will far outweight any radiation risk. We optimise our scan times and doses to keep your radiation dose as low as possible, and you can rest easy knowing that any CT examination performed has been vetted, protocoled and optimized to ensure the correct clinical information has been obtained from your exam. Over the course of your lifetime, you will have what is known as an "accumulative dose" of environmental radiation, and very often, Radiological examinations will give a far smaller radiation dose, than the environmental doses that we receive over our lifetime.

And the Iodinated Contrast?

For some of our CT examinations, we use Iodinated Contrast or Barium Sulphate based agent to better highlight your internal blood vessels and structures. Sometimes this will be given Intravenously, sometimes it will be given Orally. Generally speaking, contrast agents are safe to use and severe reactions to the use of these agents, are quite rare. Prior to your exam, however, you will be questioned about any previous or possible allergies, hives or allergic reactions to previous environmental or food based products. The types of reactions to contrast media can range from very mild, to severe - however our on site staff and supporting medical practitioners are well equipped to manage any such reactions. I you have any concerns about allergies or previous reactions, please let our staff know prior to your examination.
