Cua Dong General Hospital: Investing in 128-slice CT scanner

(Baonghean,vn) - In order to optimally support diagnosis and treatment, Cua Dong General Hospital has recently invested in a 128-slice CT Scanner - one of the most modern generations of machines in the world.

Currently, only a few central hospitals have invested in 128-slice CT Scanners. In Nghe An, Cua Dong General Hospital is one of the pioneering medical units using this modern CT scanner to support imaging diagnosis, examination and treatment.

Unlike conventional CT Scanners, the 128-slice CT Scanner has multiple probe arrays, the fastest rotation time is 0.35 seconds on a slice thickness of only 0.625mm, so 128 slices can be captured simultaneously.

The resolution of the machine can reach 0.24mm, allowing the detection of lesions as small as a few mm in size. Thanks to that, the machine can detect more clearly and completely multiple trauma areas, supporting the diagnosis of abdominal inflammatory diseases or other body part injuries that cannot be detected by ultrasound and X-ray.

The 128-slice CT Scanner also supports providing superior diagnostic image quality for many diseases such as cardiovascular, blood vessels, tumors, brain... With advanced image reconstruction technology, the machine will limit the radiation dose to the body by up to 40% and control the contrast dose for the patient.
