The 510k FDA cleared SpotLight is a single beat, whole heart scanner optimized with 140 mm coverage at a rotation speed of 0.24 sec per rotation. As the first dedicated cardiovascular CT scanner designed to provide comprehensive clinical information for diagnosis and therapy planning, it allows cardiology practices to quickly and efficiently image their patients.
C3 is the first practice to install the SpotLight scanner in the US. Tony Das, MD, founder and CEO of C3, has seen a profound impact on his practice since its implementation.
“Cardiac CT is the Level 1A test for diagnosis of stable and acute chest pain by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA),” said Dr. Das. “Typically, patients must face long wait times in scheduling their appointment and are often referred out to expensive hospitals or imaging centers. With Arineta’s SpotLight, we can now provide them answers in just days instead of weeks .”
To help alleviate the backlog of Dallas imaging centers, C3 will allow area doctors to image their patients at its facility using the SpotLight, improving access and affordability of cardiac imaging, not only for its own patients, but for those of other providers as well.
