Advanced technologies at Acibadem Healthcare Group means

• PET/CT as one of the most efficient methods of visualization these days. It is used to detect the tumors, identify their spread level, planning radiotherapy, evaluate effectiveness of therapy and to identify the tumor or cancer in some cases. PET/CT plays a significant function in detecting the epilepsy focus, Alzheimer’s, in addition heart check-up after the heart onset.
• Interoperation MR 3 Tesla is applied to get the qualitative image of the entire body and the prompt visualization upon the brain surgery. Interoperation 3 Tesla MR assists the surgeons to get the image within the sterile environment without awakening the patient.
• Force CT using low dose and lower contrast radiation material is the fast and convenient screening method of kidneys with 4D visualization. The high definition and prompt performance assist to identify very little and hidden injuries of the lungs and colon.
• Flash CT is an instrument for a rapid tomography with the low radiation dosing for scanning the heart and the lungs. Flash CT enable to process the tomography within 4 sec., heart angiography within 0.25 sec and lungs scanning within 0.6 sec out of holding breath.
• RI of the full body being one of the significant diagnostic instruments among the MRI technologies available nowadays. This device provides the entire body scanning within 45 min.
• MRI 3 Tesla is the fresh technologic device for visualization to receive the images twice faster and sharper than an ordinary 1.5 Tesla MRI. By virtue of the flexibility, this device provides the specific HD images of the thin cross-sections. The strong signal allows the identification of the smallest injuries.
• 3D digital mammography by Tomosynthesis to identify the pathologic zones and breast tumors.
• 3D visualization and navigation system for prostate biopsy is the diagnostic method for the early prostate cancer identification.
• Light scanning screening technology method is used for the instant diagnostics of the cervical cancer. Diagnostics takes 2 min only. Diagnosis is provided two years earlier by scanning with lights than by PAP test.
• Digital screening angiography to visualize all the vessels(veins) in our body by the especial visualization technology . The special method Vazo CT assists the tool to ensure the images of the thinnest veins with a lower dose of the difference material administered into the veins with no entrance to the arteries. Hence, the risk from the contrast administered into the veins is minimal. DSA is applied both for the diagnostics and for the treatment.
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is the technology used to provide the images of the visceral organs by the special machinery developed for the digestive outline endoscopy. Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) provides the ultrasound diagnostics of the walls of the respiratory tract and lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity.
• EOS (3D Skeletal System Imaging) is the device to provide the imaging of the frontal, back and side sites of the backbone and all the lower limbs.
• Ductoscopy is applied for the diagnostics and therapy of breast cancer.
• Truebeam STx is facility that integrates all the advanced radiation therapy methods used in the healing of cancer, such as IMRT, IGRT, Gated RT, RapidArc, SRS and SBRT. It provides fast, accurate and precise transmission of radiation to the small tumors.
• LINAC (linear acceleration) is a device that uses 3 various methods of radiotherapy: IGRT, IMRT and SRT / SRC. It is used both for diagnostics and for treatment cancerous diseases.
• CyberKnife is a radiologic surgical system allotted to treat various types of cancer with an accuracy of less than a single millimeter. During therapy, nearby healthy tissues are maximally protected from radiation.
• Gamma knife is used in treating the brain tumors and functional disturbance. The procedure does not require anesthesia and is done in short time. No blood and scars involved. Patients usually return to normal activities on the next day after the therapy.
• DaVinci Surgical System allows to perform surgeries with small cuts, providing 3D images within the process. It has large spectrum of procedures, used in urology, cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, ENT and gynecological procedures.
• Excimer laser changes the cornea to overcome the vision troubles, inclusive nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism etc. FEMTO Cataract Laser is applied to treat cataracts.
• 3D tech Navio Knee Robot is a revolution in arthroplasty of the knee joint. It provides the intraoperative planning of implants, as well as their precise positioning. It provides a plan for each sufferer out of the need for preoperative computed tomography.
