Ruby General Hospital has also officially inaugurated the first Digital PET CT in Kolkata. With unique features and specifications this will reduce the time of PET CT from 30 minutes to 5 minutes with the patient receiving only one – third of the dose of radiation. It will also give enhanced picture clarity. The biggest advantage of Digital PET CT is that it can detect the smallest tumours which are missed by analog PET CT. Tumours around 2.9 mm will be picked up while, the best analog PET CT can pick up tumour sized above 4.3 mm. This will save many lives through early detection and lessen the suffering of patients.
Some of the advantages of Digital PET CT are as follows:-
- Superior Image Quality and Lesion Detection
- Enhanced Image Contrast
- Lower Radiation Dose
- Faster Scanning Time
- Increased Patient Comfort
- More Specific Disease Insights
- Easy workflow with AI at every step
- Improved Quantitative Accuracy providing more precise and reliable data
- Motion management with no external device – Digital Self Gating for resolving the lesions in chest and abdomen
- Motion Management for Brain especially for patients with Parkinson and neuro degenerative disorders who tend to move during the scan
Dr. Kamal K Dutta, Chairman and Managing Director, Ruby General Hospital, also mentioned about the importance of preventive oncology and how simple cancer screening investigations like Pap Smear, Mammogram, Low Dose CT scan of chest (LDCT), Colonoscopy and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can help in the early detection of cancer.
