BMI-The London Independent Hospital in the U.K. has installed a 128-slice Somatom Definition AS+ CT scanner from Siemens Healthcare of Erlangen, Germany.

The Somatom Definition AS+ is designed for cardiac imaging, achieving temporal resolution of 150 ms. The system also features less radiation dose with Siemens' Adaptive Dose Shield technique, designed to eliminate excess radiation on either side of the scan range.
