Have your scan on a next generation CT used in the world's best imaging departments. Don't settle for anything less.
Our Siemens Alpha.Pro Photon-Counting CT is capable of native ultra-high-resolution and ultra-lose dose imaging, designed with dual source architecture. This means that we're capable of performing advanced techniques simply not possible on other CT scanners in Sydney, resulting in higher resolution and at a lower-dose than if the same scan had been performed elsewhere. We can perform scans at only 10% the radiation dose of other CT scanners in Sydney.
We are pioneers in some of the most technically difficult scans, such as the CT Angiogram.
Routine examinations include (but are not limited to):
- CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA)
- Head (Brain, Sinus, Facial Bone, TMJ, Dentascan/CBCT)
- Thorax (Chest/Lungs)
- Abdomen and Pelvis (including Dual Energy Kidney Stone Analysis for KUB, Cholangiogram)
- Angiogram (including Thoracic, Cerebral/Vertebral, Pulmonary/CTPA, Renal, Aorta/Aortogram, Abdominal, Upper and Lower Limbs)
- Colonography
- Dual Energy imaging (including non-invasive Gout and Kidney Stone scans)
- Interventional Procedures (Injections and Biopsies)
- National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP)
Superscan have a passion for providing world-class Cardiac Imaging services. Our dual-trained Radiologist/Nuclear Medicine Specialists have over two decades of experience reporting CT Cardiac cases.
To support our focus on providing the best CTCA images in the world, we invested in next generation Siemens Alpha.Pro Photon-Counting CT scanner at our Fairfield Heights location. This CT has the world's highest resolution (0.2 mm slices and 0.11 mm in-plane spatial resolution) and fastest temporal resolution, which provides the sharpest possible images of moving objects, such as the heart.
Not only is our Siemens Alpha.Pro Photon-Counting CT capable of scanning any heart rate (including rapid AF), it is able to routinely acquire high-quality images at only 10% the radiation dose of other CT scanners used in Sydney.

A gout diagnosis has historically required interventional techniques to be utilised so that a specimen sample can be sent to a pathologist for assessment. Spectral data on our Siemens CT scanners allow for non-invasive diagnosis.
The presence of gout crystals are identified in bright green. CT Gout scans on our Siemens CT scanners allow for localisation of individual crystals.
This is not possible on other CT scanners routinely used throughout Sydney.
Dual Energy / Spectral technology is well-suited to scans such as the CT Pulmonary Angiogram (CTPA).
Quickly and accurately detecting pulmonary artery pathology is vital to providing patients with fast treatment, when necessary. By utilising Dual Energy Spectral datasets, we're able to create perfusion maps that provide readers with a strong indication of non-perfused lung tissue.
The images on the right demonstrate perfused (bright red/orange) and non-perfused (dark red) tissue. The non-perfused tissue is a result of pulmonary emboli, confirmed by this CTPA scan.
