The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a unique clinical imaging tool with significant applications in biomedical research in small animals. PET/MRI systems for use in humans were first introduced in the year 2016..
Other hybrid imaging systems such as CT/PET and SPECT/CT have been widely accepted in clinical practice in the past decade. PET/MR technology has revolutionized clinical imaging in small animals and offers high performance functional imaging solutions. Some medical imaging experts foresee PET/MRI completely replacing PET/CT in the future. Strengths of PET/MR technology
Advantages of combined PET/MR as compared to conventional imaging methods include:
The CyberKnife System delivers radiation with sub-millimeter precision, enhancing clinicians' ability to treat effectively while preserving healthy tissue. In addition to clinical benefits, SBRT is more convenient for patients and has been shown to be less costly than long courses of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Ushering in another new era in healthcare, the Apollo Hospitals Group has introduced the most advanced CyberKnife Robotic Radio Surgery System in the Asia Pacific. The world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system is designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. An innovation in the treatment of cancer, a breakthrough technology, a non-invasive alternative to surgery, the CyberKnife brings an unparalleled approach to treating inoperable tumors. Patients who previously had no options or only high-risk options for treatment now have a safer alternative.
Novalis Tx Radiosurgery incorporates a powerful linear accelerator, which rotates around the patient to deliver treatment beams anywhere in the body from virtually any angle. A set of sophisticated image-guidance and motion management tools provide clinicians with detailed information about the shape, size and position of the targeted lesion, guide patient setup and positioning and monitors motion during treatment Prolonged treatment times can affect patient comfort and treatment accuracy. Fast treatment reduces the likelihood of patient or tumor movements, which can impact overall accuracy. In addition to offering one of the industry's fastest treatment times, Novalis Tx Radiosurgery continuously tracks patient and tumor motion and automatically adjusts the beam of radiation to maintain the highest possible level of treatment accuracy.
Other radiosurgery devices utilize circular beams to treat. As most lesions are irregular in shape, a circular dose does not completely cover the exact shape of the tumor. Novalis Tx Radiosurgery shapes the radiation beam to contour to the exact shape of your tumor or lesion, ensuring the optimal treatment dose is delivered and protecting healthy tissue. The targeted beam adapts to your breathing and other body movements to continuously maintain safe, complete and accurate dosage.
The 620 Slice CT Scan system is an advanced imaging system that scans your body from head to toe, in less than one minute. It helps to accurately identify any abnormality. The system uses X Rays to obtain cross-sectional images or “slices “of the targeted area. The computer system reconstructs multiple two-dimensional and three dimensional images which provide an accurate picture of the targeted area.
The 620 Slice Heart CT scan can identify deposits on the walls of the heart blood vessels and indicate your vulnerability to Cardiac diseases.For patients with confirmed Cardiac ailments, the 620 Slice Heart CT Scan can help periodically monitor the status of blood vessels without resorting to invasive procedures.
In cases of non Cardiac chest pain, the 620 Slice Heart CT Scan can detect any other abnormality/body conditions causing the pain and facilitate the appropriate treatment.
It’s a surgical technology, In which there is a new category of minimally invasive surgery. It is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy. Through the use of the da Vinci Surgical System, surgeons are now able to offer a minimally invasive option for complex surgical procedures. All major surgery performed through the smallest of incisions. Its Imagine having the benefits of a definitive treatment but with the potential for significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal daily activities - as well as the potential for better clinical outcomes.
Proton therapy is used to treat many cancers and is mainly appropriate in situations where treatment options are restricted or conventional radiotherapy poses a peril to the patient.
The clinical advantages of proton therapy in contrast to conventional radiation therapy are huge, with more than 80,000 patients treated worldwide. Apollo Hospitals, always ahead in bringing such clinical innovations to the people of India, has planned, developed and equipped the Proton Therapy center, providing the latest hi-tech equipment’s as well as excellent scientific and engineering expertise.
Proton Beam Therapy is one of the most superior forms of radiation therapy in the world. It uses high-energy proton beam for cancer treatment. It is a form of particle therapy that will usher in a paradigm change in cancer treatment. It provides targeted treatment and intensification unlike any other radiation treatment.
Conversely, the proton is a heavy and charged particle that in time loses its speed as it interacts with human tissue. It is easily controlled and delivers its utmost dose at an accurate depth, which is determined by the amount of energy it was given by the cyclotron (via acceleration), and reaches as far as 32 cm. The proton is very quick when it penetrates the patient’s body and deposits only a diminutive dose on its way. The absorbed dose increases very gradually with better depth and lower speed, rapidly rising to a peak when the proton is finally stopped. This is known as the Bragg peak. The behavior of the proton can be specifically determined and the beam can be directed so the Bragg peak occurs precisely within the tumor site. Instantaneously after this burst of energy, the proton completely stops to irradiate. Proton therapy aims to target tumors inside the body, accurately localize the radiation dosage and spare the patient’s healthy cells, presenting a much less invasive option to treat cancer.
Proton Beam Therapy has transformed the treatment of numerous cancers such as pediatric cancers, skull base tumors, brain tumors, breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer to name a few. It becomes a feasible option; mainly in cases where treatment options are limited and conventional radiotherapy projects a higher risk to patients. Proton beam therapy has to a greater extent, trounced the boundaries of conventional radiotherapy. It has the latent potential to treat more cancers with superior quality of life, throughout and after treatment.
A new Technique introduce as ‘ Transradial Program’ in medical protocol in which patient treated through the Transradial technique have many benefits. In case of emergency situation the cardiology team performs primary Transradial angioplasty, which is highly recommended by international cardiology societies. It can also used for Smallest Pacemaker placement also known as smallest leadless pacemaker, Micra which is approximately size of 50 Paisa coin, its implant procedure. Procedure of Angioplasty of complex triple vessel disease which was earlier sent for bypass surgery can now be tackled with advance techniques of angioplasty and stenting according to newest trials, Excel and Nobel, which showed better success rates than conventional bypass surgeries.
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. The camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist or over your shoulder.
Capsule endoscopy helps doctors see inside your small intestine — an area that isn't easily reached with conventional endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy can be used by adults and by children who can swallow the capsule.
Capsule endoscopy helps your doctor see inside your small intestine. Your small intestine, located between your stomach and your colon, can be difficult to reach with conventional endoscopy and imaging tests. Capsule endoscopy can also provide better imaging of the lining of the small intestine than can other tests.
Your doctor may recommend capsule endoscopy to help diagnose or treat:
Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Capsule endoscopy can help find the cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Inflammatory bowel diseases. Capsule endoscopy may reveal areas of inflammation in the small intestine that can help your doctor diagnose Crohn's disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases.
