Latest edition in the department of imaging
The new state-of-the-art
1.5 tesla MRI scanner signa HDxt from GE Healthcare
BRAIN IMAGING
All routine studies including Stroke, Seizure, Pituitary, Orbit, Cisternography and PNS protocols
- Angiography studies Contrast Enhanced and Non-Contrast enhanced
- Perfusion imaging Helps in brain tumor characterization and early detection of ischemia
- Diffusion Imaging Helps in diagnosis of ischemic changes within 3 hours
- Spectroscopic Imaging provides chemical spectra and biochemical information
Of brain tissues, which help in identifying metabolic errors, differentiating tumors, early diagnosis of Alzheimers disease etc.
- Functional MRI map specific areas of brain corresponding to various activities, helps in presurgical evaluation
- DTI / Fiber Tracking - 3d imaging of white matter tracts in brain and spinal code
- Propeller sequence - for un-cooperative, pediatric and geriatric patients, yield high quality images by nullifying motion blur.
- Fiesta c dedicated high resolution sequence for imaging of cranial nerves
SPINE IMAGING
Whole spine coverage in short time without changing patient position
High resolution Cosmic 3D sequence for better visualization of nerve boots
Excellent fat suppression technique for better depiction of tumors
Brachial and lumbo-sacral-High resolution imaging in all planes
MUSKULO-SKELETAL IMAGING
High resolution, smaller FOV, with superior fat suppression technique
IDEAL Fat only, water only, both in-phase and out-of-phase images in single sequence reduces imaging time.
Dedicated coils for knee, Shoulder, wrist etc.
Cartigram for knee joint to detect early degeneration of cartilage with colour mapping
ABDOMEN AND PELVIS IMAGING
Free breathing and breath hold technique, dedicated high resolution sequences provides highly quality imaging and shorter scan time with patient comfort. Special Studies include
Staging of pelvic malagnancies(Specially uterus, cervics and prostate)
MRCP Evaluating liver and pancreatico - billiary tree
MR urography
Fistulogram imaging of anorectal fistulae
Uterine Masses (Fibroids, adenomyosis etc.)
In utero evaluation of foetal and placental disorders'
BREAST IMAGING
Dedicated breast coil for comfortable patient positioning without breast compression
VIBRANT-XV-High resolution, multi planar dedicated perfusion sequence helps to differentiate malignancy from benign module and depicts even smaller nodules in breast
BREASE Spectroscopy picks up metabolic from small nodules as well
ANGIOGRAPHY
Contrast enhanced and non contrast enhanced
Peripheral, Aortic, Renal, Neck vessels and cerebral mesenteric and Portal vessel Angiography
TRICKS Multiphasic Dynamic contrast angiogram for AVMs, AVFs and Tumor evaluation
INHANCE Non contrast renal Angiography in cases of chronic renal failure
