Diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine department

458 Minh Khai, Hai Ba Trung District, Ha Noi

Overview

The Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine consists of two divisions: The Department of Diagnostic Imaging was formed after the establishment of Vinmec International General Hospital and is one of the spearheads in professional development orientation of the Hospital. The Nuclear Medicine Unit was formed at the end of 2017.

Why should you choose the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at Vinmec Times City International Hospital?

The Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine is a unit that is fully and synchronously equipped with the most modern and new generation machines in Vietnam. The department installed a 3D breast ultrasound machine to help add breast cancer screening facilities and the 3 Tesla GE Magnetic Resonator which helps to reduce noise. It is the second hospital in Hanoi equipped with new generation PET/CT and SPECT/CT machines, Hybrix angiography system, CT Angio system combines CT 640 slices with intelligent Angio system. We are proud that the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at Vinmec is the department equipped with the most modern and synchronous equipment in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia.

The department has a large number of staff members with 50 staff members, including 18 doctors (including 1 associate professor and 1 doctorate), who are regularly trained on-site or at other hospitals. short-term and long-term training courses at home and abroad. Training cooperation with Kantonsspital Winterthur Hospital (Switzerland) and Stanford University (USA), University of Sherbrooke (Canada) working together, exchanging expertise, regularly consulting with a team of experienced doctors of major faculties in Hanoi such as Bach Mai Hospital, Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Hanoi Medical University, Military Hospital 108.

The department has become a trusted address, in which doctors inside and outside the hospital put their confidence to refer patients to magnetic resonance imaging of brachial plexus lesions, brain tumors, pediatric cerebral palsy, CT scans of heart diseases Congenital complex in children, ultrasound measurement of elasticity of liver parenchyma, thyroid....

The good coordination between the Clinical departments, the Anesthesiology - Anesthesia Department and the Vinmec Department of Imaging - Nuclear Medicine has ensured the good and safe performance of all Magnetic Resonance and Radiography examinations. Computer class, PET/CT, SPECT/CT Angio - Hybrix solve problems from diagnosis to treatment intervention for complex diseases of cancer, deformities in adults. As in very young children, Magnetic resonance imaging for children from 3 days old with malformations of the spinal canal, skull, biliary tract, ...

Perform routine biopsy techniques, learn to aspirate cells. This is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of some diseases, especially the assessment of cirrhosis in congenital biliary atresia, cancer diseases.

The department is promoting the field of intervention with the means of two-sided DSA machine, Hybrit angiography system, 640-slice CT-Angio system, which can receive and treat diseases such as primary hepatocellular tumor, tumor uterine fibroids, prostate fibroids, retinoblastoma... by techniques such as embolization, implementation of brain aneurysm node intervention, spinal vascular malformations, bronchial vasodilation, renal vascular malformations. In addition, performing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver tumors, benign thyroid tumors, etc.

Professional achievements:

Routine diagnosis of liver fibrosis by elastography of liver tissue.
