Revolutionizing Healthcare: Tam Anh Hospital Implements Advanced AI-Powered CT Scanner System

Tam Anh Hospital has recently implemented a new 1975-slice CT scanner system with integrated AI technology to enhance the assessment of stroke and cancer cases. This advanced CT system offers a scanning speed of 0.23 seconds per time resolution of 19.5 milliseconds, making it capable of detecting lesions as small as 0.23 mm. It can detect atherosclerotic plaques, blood clots, narrow blockages, brain aneurysms, tumors, stones, or small lesions at an early stage.

The Smart Stroke software and AI processing solutions help reduce the time needed for image capture, processing, and result interpretation. The modern CT system provides highly accurate images with better description, clear boundaries between damaged and healthy tissues, and precise detection of small abnormalities for accurate diagnoses. Tam Anh Hospital is the first medical facility in Southeast Asia to acquire the Revolution Apex Elite CT machine from GE HealthCare.

The significance of the 1975-slice CT system in stroke treatment was highlighted by Dr. Le Van Tuan, the Director of the Center for Neuroscience at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. He explained that fast progression of strokes is crucial and early intervention is essential for effective treatment. The system can aid in identifying and evaluating diseases in less than five minutes, expediting emergency treatment for strokes and reducing patient sequelae. Apart from stroke diagnosis, this cutting-edge CT scanner also supports cancer screening and diagnosis, cardiovascular disease evaluation, and other health issues.

GE HealthCare Group’s partnership with Tam Anh General Hospital System aims to introduce world-leading medical technologies to improve healthcare services for patients in Vietnam and beyond. The collaboration includes training medical professionals on modern diagnostic applications and equipment
