New Discovery CT750 HD

In a joint venture with Mid-Michigan MRI, MSU Radiology has aquired the new GE Discovery CT750 HD scanner.

New technological breakthroughs allow the Discovery CT750 HD to acheive unmatched image quality at a dramatically lower dose. This revolutionary new platform puts our clinic on the leading edge of Computed Tomography (CT) and positions our services at the forefront of diagnostic care. With breakthrough technology that sets a new standard in CT clarity and low dose, the GE Discovery CT750 HD will enhance the way our physicians look at diagnostic imaging, provide new paths to clinical treatment, and redefine perspectives on quality care.

The high definition breakthrough:

Powered by the first new CT scintillator material in two decades, the Discovery CT750 HD generates unmatched, high definition image quality.

Lower dose:

The Discovery CT750 HD brings clinicians and referring physicians the image quality they require — at up to 50% lower dose using exclusive ASIR technology: helping assure patients, with faster, more confident diagnoses.

The leading edge of care:

The image chain (redesigned from X-ray source through reconstruction), spectral imaging capability and dose reduction features will transform the practice of CT and set a new standard for years to come.

MSU researcher studies ties between cholesterol drugs, muscle problems

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan State University researcher is studying whether the most popular class of cholesterol-lowering drugs may cause muscle problems in users.

There is accumulating evidence that the effect statins can have on skeletal muscle – including muscle weakness, fatigue and deterioration – is underestimated, said Jill Slade, assistant professor of radiology and osteopathic manipulative medicine at MSU.
