Specializing in multiple sclerosis and brain cancer, Gul Moonis, MD, is licensed to practice medicine in the state of Massachusetts. Dr. Gul Moonis, a radiologist , currently sees patients at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where she employs methods such as adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction.
Adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) is an adapted computed tomography (CT) scan technique that is new to the field of radiology. It comes with several benefits, including the following.
1. Further reduces the amount of radiation delivered to the body when undergoing a CT scan, thereby reducing the risk to internal organs.
2. Lessens noise, which sharpens and improves the quality of the images rendered. In fact, the Mayo Clinic confirmed in a study that the use of ASIR produced as good a quality of images as traditional CT scans.
3. The lower doses of radiation will attract more patients and result in saving additional lives. The appeal relates to the public’s increasing concerns about radiation’s link to cancer as well as the reduced lifetime risk of cancer for those requiring multiple CT scans.
