The TOMOSCAN AV-NT is a whole body Computed Tomography (CT) system which is a diagnostic X-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission of data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. It includes signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts and accessories which used in combination with signal and image processing software to facilitate the relative localization of anatomy with gray-scale representation of density relative to water utilizing Houndsfield indices with or without contrast mediums. It is used for display, storage and analysis of digital diagnostic CT images. The TOMOSCAN AV-NT is intended for use by a physician in the diagnosis phases and planning phases of patient conditions and treatment.
