Endometriosis is a chronic and often painful condition that affects approximately 1 in 9 women during their reproductive years.

It is essential that women receive accurate and timely diagnoses of endometriosis in order to receive appropriate treatment and support. Radiology professionals play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. With the use of advanced imaging technologies, your GP will refer to their recommended scan such as an ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan. Radiologists can help identify endometrial tissue growths and support the healthcare team in providing the best possible care for patients.

During Endometriosis Awareness Month, we encourage you to take the time to learn more about endometriosis. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms such as painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, or difficulty getting pregnant, it is important to speak with a GP.

An accurate and timely diagnosis of endometriosis can lead to appropriate treatment and support.

  • Lower dose for the patient
  • Wide coverage 16cm axial cardiac acquisition in one beat, every time, using task specific Autogating profiles
  • A gantry rotation of 0.28s and GE’s motion correction algorithm without any additional exposure provides us with industry-leading 24m/sec effective temporal resolution
  • Utilises the latest ‘next generation’ FDA-approved deep-learning reconstruction algorithm providing low dose scanning and exquisite image quality*.

Scan Example

Results: LIMA to LAD

VR Tree

AN EXAMPLE OF AUTOGATING AT WORK: Patient with CABG requiring a two volume scan to cover the heart and origin of LIMA. Smart Arrhythmia (SAM) detects Ectopic beat in between the two volumes, aborts scan and waits for heart to recover ready to scan end diastole phase during the next regular R to R.

Effective Dose: 4.8mSv

What does this all mean? 

Spectral CT imaging is the use of two levels of x-ray energy simultaneously to image a region of interest. Materials imaged by x-ray have known characteristics at different peak x-ray energies providing a range of views of that tissue. The Revolution CT couples together with a 16cm wide Gemstone detector one of the largest detectors available on the market and a fast switching x-ray tube, capturing multiple CT images very quickly at different energies. This new dual spectrum CT scanner is top-of-the-line, incorporating next-generation image reconstruction method, True FidelityTM Deep Learning image reconstruction. True FidelityTM increases the quality of an image while being able to significantly reduce dose to patients.
