Asymptomatic persons with the following risk factors:

• High blood pressure (>140/90mm of Hg)

• Diabetes

• Family H/O heart disease

• Smoking

• Sedentary lifestyle (exercise less than three times a week)

• Overweight by 20% or more

• High stress lifestyle

• Men over 45 years old

• Woman over 55 years old

Symptomatic persons need it for:

• Detection and characterization of coronary artery occlusive lesions due to atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD)

• Follow up assessment of bypass grafts, stent patency etc

• Detection and characterization of coronary artery anomalies, aneurysms etc

• Functional cardiac assessment

• Characterization of congenital heart disease

• Detection of cardiac masses, pericardial diseases

Apart from its extensive applications in cardiology, the 500 slice VCT Scanner is used in

• Cerebral, abdominal and peripheral Angiography

• Cerebral perfusion studies

• High definition images of brain, thoracic and abdominal organs

• HRCT of lungs and temporal bone

• Virtual Endoscopy

• Maxillo-facial evaluation

• 3 dimensional studies of bones, joints and spines

1st time in Bangladesh

Say Goodbye to noisy and claustrophobic MRI scans

Rest Easy

The wide bore design means more space and less anxiety thereby helping you feel more relaxed

Breathe Free

With free-breathing imaging applications and advanced motion correction software, SIGNA™ Pioneer allows complete free-breathing body imaging

Fast

Exclusive technology allows for faster, more efficient exams and less wait time for you

Shorter Scans

Sharper Images

Superior Comfort

Getting the best possible diagnostic image quality while making the scan experience as pleasant as possible for the patient is for the patient is the primary goal of Silent Scan MRI.

• Reduced anxiety during the scan due to quieter environment
• Quieter environment facilitates communication between patient and technologist
• Reduced scan times when the patient is relaxed and more apt to lie still
• Reduced incidence of rescans when the patient is relaxed and more apt to lie still
• A better overall MR experience. For patients requiring future scans, the can positively impact their outlook on their treatment plan

Unique Characteristics

• Wide bore for greater comfort and reduced claustrophobia  
• Higher channel system for better and sharper image quality
• High resolution 3D DCE imaging of Liver, Prostate, Breast
• Multiple phases in a single breath-hold … no missed enhancements … Each scan is done right the first time
• Whole body MRI for early detection of cancer
• Whole body scanner Imaging all body parts
• State of the art neurological cases for a variety of clinical areas
• High resolution imaging of joints & cartilage
• Non contrast high contrast angiography of brain, neck, abdomen, peripheral vessels
• Non-invasive detailed evaluation of the heart

High definition technology enables attainment of high resolution images of the body at a faster rate, paving the way for widespread but targeted clinical application.

• It provides good imaging speed and clarity with excellent resolution and better tissue identification

• It performs the scan within half the time of the standard  MRI

• In addition to faster scanning time and better image quality, it offers advanced HDMR which is a scanner that provides physicians with highly detailed pictures of the anatomy:   

1. Brain imaging with uncompromised image quality, despite patient motion
2. Functional imaging to identify brain activity following a stroke
3. Vascular imaging
4. Evaluation of diabetic patient for low blood flow to the lower legs
5. Extremely high-resolution images of the abdomen, for liver exams, with shorter breath holds and better organ coverage than previously possible
6. High-resolution images of musculoskeletal system 

The main advantage of this new technology includes improved assessment of complex anatomic structures, surface scan-analysis of minor defects, volumetric measurements of organs, spatial presentation of blood flow information and 3D examination of fetal skeleton. Modern 3D systems are capable of generating surface and transparent views depicting the sculpture-line reconstruction of surface structures of X-ray-like images of fetal skeletal anatomy. Color Doppler facilities provide imaging and evaluation of vascular system.

Computed Radiography & Mammography

Computed Radiography and Mammography are advanced manipulation technology that can provide excellent imaging for detection of lesions.

Note

The Radiology & Imaging Unit is open 24 hours everyday for X-rays, MRIs, CT Scans and Mammograms which are done daily. Our expert technologists are always on hand and/or on-call. Our highly qualified team of Radiologists assesses each and every scan & x-ray film and reports are prepared under their supervision and monitoring. Every single film and report is seen and cross-checked by our Radiologists.   

The Department provides consultation services in Ground Floor through highly qualified and experienced Radiology & Imaging Consultants.
