The article was professionally consulted by Dr. Trinh Le Hong Minh - Doctor of Radiology - Department of Diagnostic Imaging - Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital. The doctor has many years of experience in the field of diagnostic imaging.Pancreatic cancer is often difficult to detect because the pancreas is located behind the stomach. If pancreatic cancer is not detected early, it cannot be operated on and is dangerous for the patient. Therefore, the 128-slice CT scan method with high technology, fast, thin slices, sharp quality images will help detect pancreatic cancer and a number of other diseases for timely treatment.
1. What is a 128-slice CT scanner?
CT scan is a form in which the doctor sends an X-ray beam through the patient and collects images from a part of that body. X-rays will bounce back after contacting the body and carry the signal, which is then decompressed by the computer into a final image for the doctor to read and diagnose the disease in order to have the appropriate treatment.
Image can be 2 or 3 dimensional cropping depending on. CT scanning has the advantage of sharpness and the ability to obtain more pathological information.
CT scanner 128 means a type of CT scanner (such as a spiral CT scanner, a dual source CT scanner and a 64 row CT scanner). 128-slice CT scanner or can be called 128-slice CT scanner is a technique that uses a 128-slice CT scanner system with multiple probe arrays, capable of simultaneously obtaining 128 slices. in a relatively short period of time. This technique is used in many clinical areas.

2. Advantages of performing 128-slice CT scan
128-slice CT scan method, the lesion images are accurately shown in 3 spatial dimensions. Specifically as follows:
Clear images: 128-sequence CT scan method shows many computed tomography layers, and is also suitable for capturing more organs than before. The image of the disease through 128-slice CT scanner is shown at a super sensitive level, with extremely high specificity. Soft tissue resolution: With previous imaging methods, usually soft tissues are almost unrecognizable or difficult to read. However, with the 128-slice CT scan method, images with a big difference were obtained, notably the ability to resolve soft tissue compared to previous CT scanning techniques. Fast capture time: Particularly for current CT scanning techniques, the 1-rotation machine takes less than 1/3 of a second, so it saves a lot of time. As for the 128-slice CT scan method, it also captures images faster and more powerful than existing CT scanning methods. Therefore, it only takes a few minutes to complete the 128-sequence CT scan for the patient.

3. Does 128-slice CT scan detect pancreatic cancer?
With the above advantages, can a 128-slice CT scan detect pancreatic cancer? Accordingly, this method has contrast injection with sharp images and the support of intelligent 3D reconstruction slices of internal organs, so it can detect pancreatic cancer. Besides, this method also supports diagnostic imaging of many other diseases in the body such as:
Oncology field: Helps to diagnose tumors early and accurately; monitoring and concluding whether the patient has progressed to any cancer stage; combination used in radiotherapy methods; After the patient has completed the cancer treatment, the 128-sequence CT scan technique also helps to monitor scar tissue and check for metastasis due to cancer. Cardiology: Evaluation of the degree of coronary stenosis. Evaluation of congenital heart defects. Neurological field: CT imaging allows the doctor to see and evaluate brain tumors or infections; Diseases related to memory, dementia are also monitored for differential diagnosis by CT scanning technique.

Gastrointestinal cancer screening is a scientific and effective measure for early detection of gastrointestinal cancers (esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer) and providing a good treatment plan. best. Currently, Vinmec International General Hospital has a package of screening and early detection of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus - stomach - colon) combined with clinical and paraclinical examination to bring the most accurate results. maybe.
When screening for gastrointestinal cancer at Vinmec, you will receive:
Gastrointestinal specialty examination with an oncologist (by appointment). Gastroscopy and colonoscopy with an NBI endoscope with anesthesia. Peripheral blood count (laser counter). Automated prothrombin time test. Automated thrombin time test. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) test using an automated machine. General abdominal ultrasound.
