MDH Welcomes the Gold Standard in CT Scanning

Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Manila Doctors Hospital, the first health facility in Asia to be accredited by Accreditation Canada International, is now offering the top-of-the-line Siemens SOMATOM Computed Tomography for all medical and surgical diagnostic needs for all patients.

The new CT Scan is the latest innovative technology for delivering low dose CT examination for the safety of all our patients including our pediatric patients who are more sensitive to radiation. For the hospital and our physician partners, delivering excellent image quality with significantly reduced radiation dose has always been a top priority.

The SOMATOM Definition Flash also provides fast scanning that minimizes the effects of patient movement, making it especially valuable across all areas whether in trauma, oncological, pediatric and cardiac cases among others. A full pediatric scan can be done in one second, independent of breathing movement making sedation and forced breathing obsolete. The new CT Scan can meet the highest requirements of the medical community in everyday clinical challenges.

MDH’s most recent acquisition is a testament to the hospital’s commitment to continually improve their services and provide holistic quality and safe patient care.
