THE Davao Medical School Foundation (DMSF) Inc. launched Monday a P48-million worth Philips Ingenuity Core 128-Slice CT Scan that will support the hospital's operation. <\/p>\n
In a press conference on Monday, DMSF Inc. president Jonathan Alegre said the acquisition of a new medical equipment is a milestone for the hospital since it can expedite the process of diagnosing a patient. <\/p>\n
With state-of-the-art medical equipment in place, Alegre is hoping to serve more patients with quality services at an affordable price. <\/p>\n
DMSF is not the first hospital to acquire a 128-slice CT Scan, but the hospital is the first one to utilize a medical equipment manufactured by Philips, which is safer since it uses low-dose radiation. <\/p>\n
Dr. Samuel Bangoy, a radiologist of DMSF, said that it is not anymore how advanced the technology in place that's needed but rather how safe it is to the patients. <\/p>\n
In this case, the Philips 128-Slice CT scan takes only a shorter time to come out with the results, thus the lesser the patient's exposure to radiation. <\/p>\n
\"To scan an entire body, it will only take about 10 to 15 minutes. Before, it takes hours,\" he said. <\/p>\n
He added that they are also hoping to serve patients of the other hospitals in Davao City who will need the services of the 128-Slice CT Scan. <\/p>\n
