SENSATION 10 CT SCANNER

CT is computed tomography, more commonly called CAT or CT scanning. It is the process of making an X-ray image of a very thin cross-section of the body. Wockhardt Hospital's CT scanners incorporate the latest technology in electronics and computer science, resulting in a safe and painless way to see inside the human body without surgery.

During CT scanning, an X-ray beam passes through the body and is recorded by electronic detectors. These detectors send the information to a computer; where it is translated into an image that a radiologist studies to help diagnose your condition. CT scanning allows the physician to accurately diagnose your condition with least discomfort and expense. Accurate early detection allows treatment to begin sooner so that you can begin healing sooner.

CT is absolutely safe. Although CT uses X-rays, this painless procedure uses only minimal amounts of radiation during scanning.

Wockhardt Hospital's CT Imaging Centre is designed with excellence, accuracy, and patient satisfaction in mind. Designed for smoother, more accurate exams and reducing the patient's anxiety, our services can achieve quality results. A Sensation 10 CT Scanner - the first of its kind in India, having Multi Slice Technology, true isotropic resolution feature and low radiation dose to the patient and user. The patient is more at ease and the clinician does not miss out on small lesions because of the single breath-hold imaging. Total body scanning is fast, too.

FUNCTIONAL MRI WITH SPECTROSCOPY – FIRST IN MUMBAI

Wockhardt Hospital houses the most advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment with advanced functional MR imaging and spectroscopic imaging, the first of its kind in Mumbai and an upcoming technology in the country. Spectropscopy is a relatively new procedure that uses MRI to measure quick, tiny metabolic changes that take place in an active part of the brain.

By producing high-resolution images, functional MRI helps us look closely at the brain's activity. The scanner is an invaluable research and diagnostic tool. The ability to conduct safe, detailed scans of the brain in less than a second makes the scanner extremely valuable for documenting brain abnormalities related to dementia or seizures.

The speed and precision of this device help determine precisely which part of the brain is responsible for performing critical functions such as thought, speech, movement, and sensation. This information is vital for planning surgery, radiation therapy, treatment for stroke, or other interventions to treat brain disorders.

OPMI MULTIVISION

Wockhardt Hospital is equipped with OPMI MultiVision, it is a new generation microscope used for neuro navigation. It has a facility of image injection, auto-focus based on laser principle and Contraves Counterbalance technology. The surgeon can connect the neuroendoscope with this microscope and superimpose live images with CT and MR.

In the OPMI MultiVision surgical microscope, digital image data from the surgical field is projected into the eyepiece of the surgeon. This additional information increases patient safety during neuro surgical procedures. OPMI Multivision offers the surgeon the ability to harness the information and technology revolution taking place in the operating room. It has the ability to directly accept both video and computer signals. The surgeon receives all important information 'on-line'.
