LightSpeed VCT 64 tomography scanner – the most modern technology available for highly accurate coronary and vascu lar tomography. The LightSpeed VCT 64 performs a triple coronary diagnosis in just five heartbeats. It is capable of reviewing stents without having to resort to medical procedures.
Advanced diagnoses can also be made for oncology, neurology, vascular diseases, orthoped
ics, and thoracic and abdominal pathologies.
It also performs arthrotomographies, a method ideally used to diagnose articular diseases.
For this tomography, the administration of contrast is performed with an injection pump, guaranteeing the flow and consequently the improvement in the opacity of the studied structures.
Resonance – GE HDX 1.5 Tesla - The GE Signa 1.5 Tesla HDX has 8 channels with cardio and is the most modern scanner in the world. It is capable of performing a complete head scan in three minutes.
The system is revolutionary and provides complete diagnostic exams of the Neurological, Vascular, Abdominal and Orthopedic systems, as well as the cerebral, cranial-facial, cavity and colon anatomic structures. An example is the peripheral vascular angiography, which has automatic contrast detection. The movement of the exam table allows a full-body resonance, diagnosing eventual problems in all of the vascular system.
In the coronary exams, this resonance is capable of identifying diseases and lesions that affect arteries. The images are projected in three dimensions.
It is also excellent for the performance of ear and cervical spine studies, as well as cysticercosis and intracranial nerve studies.
In terms of comfort, our new resonance possesses an opening and mirror so that the patient can see the outside, minimizing claustroph obia issues. It also has an intercom and a hand switch that give patients more confidence and comfort. The equipment is also capable of performing exams on people weighing up to 159 kilos.
Another characteristic is the image stabilizer. New software is capable of offering clear images even when the patient moves. This guarantees not having to redo the test.
The equipment possesses important accessories such as tubes for specific exams, which make it unnecessary for the patient with wrist or knee problems, for example, to completely enter the machine.
X-Ray – apart from the conv entional x-ray machines, SCH relies on remotely controlled machines which are managed by a computer and guarantee the exam’s precision. It performs simple or contrast exams.
Mammography – A hospital which covers a wide range of complete services for women could not lack the mammography exam. It is a preventive exam, fundamental in the premature diagnosi s of breast diseases.
Echocardiography – SCH’s Diagnostic Center uses conventional and colored echocardiography exams. It is capable of performing transesophagic echocardiograms offering greater acuteness to the diagnosis.
Ultrasound – Advanced technology machines, capable of performing all types of echographic exams, including vascular, p eripheral and obstetric exams.
4D obstetric ultrasound – The most modern high resolution equipment projected in four dimensions, guarantee a deeper and more voluminous projection.
Punctures and biopsies – guided by ultrasound or tomography, accompanied by pathologists, they guarantee the immediate evaluation and quality of collected material.
