MSCT 64: High technology in imaging diagnostics

Medicine is growing, the equipping of high-tech facilities for diagnosis and treatment will help patients to reduce pain due to surgery, costly time, and money is an effort. very remarkable.

Although the purchase price of machinery is currently quite high, but because of " vision " that Trieu An Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) has boldly spent 32 billion to " buy " the MSCT 64 machine, contributing to The world's high image diagnostic technology comes close to the Vietnamese.

For a long time, VTTH (in Binh Chanh, Ho Chi Minh City) noticed in tired people but did not know anything. Visiting a medical facility when X-ray is suspected to be a pulmonary aneurysm, but taking medication still does not stop. When the doctor of the Chao'an Hospital appointed MSCT 64, it was discovered that Ms. H. had a mediastinal tumor. Just 2 hours of surgery, Professor Van Tan finished cutting the tumor for Ms. H. and a few days later she was discharged. Similar to Ms H, on the morning of January 8, 2006, due to abdominal pain, Mr. N.H.H (26 years old) in District 3, HCMC was transferred to Trieu An Hospital for examination. Results showed that he had colon cancer. Because the size of the tumor is so large, it has forced the stool out, making him unable to defecate normally, possibly even causing the risk of intestinal puncture. Later, the more severe digestive disorders made him unable to endure. According to Dr. Nguyen Hai Nam - Director of Trieu An Hospital: Some cases of colorectal cancer stem from convex polyps in the intestine. Initial polyps often cause fewer symptoms, making it difficult to detect early. After a while, some may become heterosexual and turn into malignant tumors. The birth of MSCT 64 slices allows to record the full image of the abdominal area with thin slices of 0.5mm size. Through computer software, data will be processed, reproduced, giving a full face image in the colon frame. This procedure is non-invasive, highly accurate, and when it is detected in a colon with polyps, doctors will use a colonoscopy to remove it, helping patients avoid the risk of cancer. colon later.

With the advantages of high resolution, sharp image quality, MSCT 64 contributes to improve clinical diagnosis results . On three-dimensional space, doctors can observe lesions or tumors, albeit very small in many respects, to help screen smokers for lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. The recording time of MSCT is very fast, allowing you to take pictures of all moving bodies such as heart and pulse. Because the

Thus, MSCT 64 proved extremely effective in screening and early diagnosis of coronary diseases without the need for an intervention procedure. In addition to these outstanding features, MSCT also showed atherosclerosis on the coronary artery wall and atherosclerosis situation to consider coronary artery agriculture, follow narrowing after coronary artery stenting, after surgery coronary arteries, coronary artery deformities.

For ear, nose and throat diseases that cause a long-term headache, a history of sinusitis, MSCT is capable of screening and detecting liver tumors for hepatitis or hepatitis B, C virus, inflammation chronic liver caused by alcohol; assessing signs of cirrhosis of the liver, large spleen, pelvic area or using MSCT to capture the whole body (from the head, eyes, sinuses, ears, neck, chest, abdomen, and hand and foot blood vessels . ).

"Since being equipped with this machine, the hospital's diagnostic imaging area has always operated at full capacity to promptly detect patients' illnesses, we are very happy. In addition, thanks to training courses in the country. and modern machinery and equipment that our medical staff grew up a lot " - Dr. Nguyen Huu Thien said. With a leading medical team such as GS Van Tan (chest specialist), Prof. Vo Thanh Phung (Department of Osteoarthritis), Dr. Phung Van Duc (Department of Neurology), Dr. Nguyen Trung Vinh (Department of Anal Medicine) rectal), master Nguyen Van Phan (Department of Cardiothoracic) . then equipping MSCT 64 has made Trieu An Hospital an ideal address for health care today.
