PET-CT Centre of Evangel Hospital is equipped with GE Healthcare Discovery MI positron emission tomography/computer tomography (Digital PET-CT). It is currently the most advanced PET- CT imaging technology and also a future trend. Comparing to traditional analogue system in the market, digital PET-CT has a higher sensitivity and image resolution. The new digital system could significantly reduce examination time and radiopharmaceutical dose up to 50%, allowing decrease absorption of radiation dose by examinees as compared to traditional systems. The digital detectors also could improve accuracy and help to identify small and early lesions.

What medical information could be gathered from PET-CT?

● Distinguishing cancer at early stage
● Identifying location and structure of tumour
● Grading and staging of cancer
● Determining condition of metastasis, if any
● Assisting in treatment planning
● Assessing treatment effectiveness
● Monitoring cancer recurrence if any

Evangel Hospital is equipped with high technology digital Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning system and is operated by professional radiologist and radiographers for the provision of high-quality imaging service and diagnosis. The high-quality images provided by our Philips Ingenia 1.5T, which is a fully digital, high resolution premium MR can improve diagnostic accuracy and hence the provision of the best treatment plan.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a high-end medical imaging technology that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and combined with precise computer technology to generate detailed multiplanar images of your body.

Evangel Hospital is equipped with the SIEMENS Dual Source CT Somatom Definition Flash. It provides faster speed, higher quality images and with lower radiation dose when compared to the conventional single source CT scanner.

A computerized tomography (CT) scan uses sophisticated x-ray technology and combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer technology to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

Evangel Hospital is equipped with advanced Dornier Lithotripter SII manufactured by West Germany. ESWL is the most frequently used medical procedure for the treatment of urinary stones (kidney stones, bladder stones, and ureteral stones). It involves the use of a series of shock waves to the targeted stone generated by a machine called a lithotripter. The shock waves break it into small fragments or sand-like particles. After the treatment, they will be passed out of the body in the urine.

During an ESWL procedure, a patient lies comfortably on a couch. Next, a doctor determines the exact location of the stone through the use of both x-ray and ultrasound technique. Then a series of high-energy shock waves are accurately directed to the targeted stone and disintegrate it into smaller pieces without hurting patient’s muscle or skin tissue.


Advantages of ESWL

●  Non-invasive therapy
●  Low risk
●  Minimal pain
●  Short recovery time
●  High successful rate
●  Low radiation exposure (Dual localization: X-ray & ultrasound)

Evangel Hospital is equipped with advanced HOLOGIC Selenia Dimensions 3D Mammography System that provides superb image quality, high productivity and couples with a variety of advance clinical application software. Its helps to provide appropriate and efficient imaging service to the patients. Besides, its Genius 3D Mammography can detect early breast cancer and reduce false positive recalls.


Advantages of ESWL

The dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DEXA for short, is mainly used to check bone density and is currently the best way to assess bone health. Evangel Hospital is equipped with an advanced HOLOGIC Discovery Ci dual-energy X-ray absorptiometer that allows doctors to diagnose osteoporosis, to determine the risk of future fractures and to assess the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment. The standard examination site is the 1st to 4th lumbar vertebrae and the left hip joint. It usually takes 10-15 minutes to know the result. The test procedure is safe, painless, fast and accurate. The detected error is about 1%, which accurately diagnoses bone density.

Measurement standard of bone density
The measurement standard of bone density is the T-score which is used to define whether or not osteoporosis is present.

The following is a classification of osteoporosis by T-score derived from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry according to World Health Organization standards :

Ultrasound imaging (sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to capture the body’s internal organs in real time, through the use of a transducer (probe) and high technology imaging technique.

In an ultrasound examination, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transducer through the gel into the body.

Unlike X-ray imaging, there is no ionizing radiation exposure associated with ultrasound imaging and it can visualize soft tissues that x-ray cannot.


Advantages of Ultrasound Scanning
● Non-radiation, non-invasive examination
● It is comparatively fast, convenience and comfortable
