In order to meet the demand of high-quality medical services and to apply modern advanced technologies in diagnosis and treatment, Viet Duc University Hospital has established a system of 256-detector-row or 512-slice CT Scanner for serving the professional activities of specialized hospital on surgery at the top level.  

 

This is a modern system that might be along with numerous advantages because the more detectors it has, the more slices corresponding to the more images of internal organs are recorded. With this system, clinical physicians will be provided more evidence to analyze, diagnose and confirm the pathologies that the patient is suffering from due to :

 

The highest speed and the largest screening field at present

 

It can perform cardiogram, coronary arteriography in one heartbeat: allowing to take cardiac images of tachycardia disease of more than 100 beats per minutes, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation…

 

It can easily perform CT Scanner for monitoring blood flow and full cerebral blood flow 16 cm from carotid – cerebral arteries.

 

It might reduce radioactive exposure level about 82% in comparison with previous technology while still ensure the high qualified images.

 

The highest resolution ever helps to bring more accurate diagnosis.

 

With these advantages, 256-detector-row CT scanner technique has a high applicability in medical services for :

 

Cerebral perfusion assessment

 

Coronary artery assessment

 

Cardiac function assessment

 

Myocardial perfusion imaging

 

Multi-organ perfusion

 

Digital subtraction angiography

 

Assessment of pulmonary function and segmental anatomy

 

Automatic detection and marking of pulmonary nodule

 

Automatic segmentation of the liver

 

Virtual colonoscopy

 

Cancer progression follow-up

 

Coming to Viet Duc University Hospital for consultation and treatment, beside a team of leading experts, the patients could also benefit from a modern diagnostic system including 256-detector-row / 512-slice CT scanner that will bring a great experience heading toward their satisfaction.
