Thus, after 4 months, Tam Anh General Hospital in Hanoi is the first place in Vietnam to own a CT "super machine" with more than 100,000 somatom Force VB30 slices integrated with AI from Siemens Healthineers (Germany) to help detect early cancer, stroke risk, cardiovascular disease and micro-deads in just a few millimeters on the body, safe for children... the second "super machine" has officially arrived at Tam Anh General Hospital, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. This is the most modern device in the world, currently only available at some leading medical centers in the US, Germany, the Netherlands...
At the announcement ceremony, Mr. Christopher Scholl - Deputy Consul General, Representative of the General Consulate of CHLB Germany in Vietnam, assessed: "This cooperation not only opens up opportunities to provide leading modern medical equipment, but also aims to share knowledge and achieve excellence in clinical practice with the ultimate goal of improving health care standards in Vietnam".
Dr. Nguyen Van Phuc, Head of the Imaging Diagnosis Unit, Tam Anh General Hospital in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, said that the "super machine" for CT Somatom Force VB30 is the latest generation of the company, the pinnacle of CT scanning technology, the clearest and fastest ever in the EID start-up technology CT group.
The CT super may has the maximum number of slices and the slices that do not need to be recycled are extremely thin, only 0.4 mm. The super camera scans the entire body every 1-2 seconds, helping to accurately detect abnormalities, suggesting micro-damages in just a few millimeters of the body very early. Thanks to that, it helps doctors determine and recognize very early tumor, stroke risk, blood clots, plaque plaques, narrow locations, blocks, blood vessels, abnormalities or damage in the liver, lungs, heart valves, heart muscle, bones and joints, urinary system stones...
Unlike previous generations of CT machines with long-term images and high doses, the CT "super machine" with more than 100,000 slices of cutting to minimize the level of "ray-eating" for the human body, with extremely low doses of rays can be used for children, newborns and people with many complex diseases.
This CT super may has the technology of reducing X-ray doses by up to 85% compared to regular CT, combined with a high-end X-ray filter made of tin, providing maximum safety while still maintaining very good image quality. The machine is also equipped with a metal interference removal feature of up to 80%, thanks to which cases of bone combination with screws and artificial hip joints can be taken when prescribed without reducing the ability to diagnose the disease.
The outstanding effectiveness of this device has been proven in practice at Tam Anh General Hospital in Hanoi. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hien - Director of the Center for Imaging and Interventional Dualtics, after only 4 months of use, the "super machine" with more than 100,000 CT slices has supported screening and early diagnosis for more than 4,500 patients, contributing to improving the quality of imaging diagnosis, limiting errors and errors due to the limitations of old technologies. In which, many cases of dangerous diseases, such as liver and lung cancer, risk of stroke, cerebral vascular malformations, coronary artery stenosis, heart valve disease, heart muscle disease... were detected and intervene promptly.
A typical example is the case of Ms. Ly (37 years old) with no history of respiratory diseases or unusual symptoms. She went for a health check-up, the CT scan result of Somatom Force VB30 showed a fatigue of less than 1cm in the left lung, suspected to be malignant. Thanks to early detection, she underwent surgery to remove the entire tumor and dredge the surrounding duodenum. At the same time, perform pathological and mobile biochemical tests for doctors to prescribe supportive treatment such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy.
In addition, in the field of neurology, the "super machine" allows 4D dynamic CT of blood vessel surveys and super-fast cerebral blood supply, supporting the classification of stroke (arrhythmia or cerebral hemorrhage) in just a few minutes, shortening the "golden time" for emergency care. In the cardiovascular system, Somatom Force VB30 is capable of clearly grasping coronary artery even 1mm wide, even in rapid, arrhythmia; at the same time, simultaneously grasping cerebral, coronary, and cardiovascular veins at the same time. In the oncology department, the "super machine" also helps detect tumors in just a few millimeters in the lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. AI helps distinguish healthy and malignant tumors.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Binh, Professional Director of Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, affirmed that the operation of the CT Somatom Force VB30 "super machine" lays an important foundation for the development of Vietnamese medicine, raising the quality of diagnostic imaging, bringing early, accurate and safe diagnosis opportunities to millions of patients without having to go abroad.
