Lanka Hospitals Enhances Diagnostic Capabilities with Advanced Siemens Healthineers Gamma Camera
DIMO Healthcare, in collaboration with Lanka Hospitals, has installed a state-of-the-art Siemens Healthineers Symbia Evo Excel Gamma Camera at Lanka Hospitals. This cutting-edge equipment significantly enhances the hospital’s diagnostic prowess, particularly in oncology and non-oncological indications. The Siemens Healthineers Symbia Evo Excel Gamma Camera is designed to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of various tumors, including thyroid carcinoma, metastatic bone carcinoma, breast carcinoma, lymphoma, melanoma, and brain tumors. It also plays a vital role in non-oncological diagnoses such as renal, pulmonary, endocrine, and central nervous system disorders. The advanced technology incorporated into the Gamma camera ensures faster scan times and superior image quality. This enables physicians to detect diseases earlier and make informed treatment decisions more effectively. The wider bore of the camera minimizes claustrophobia and allows for easier positioning of obese or bedridden patients. Additionally, an exclusive 76-degree heart angle facilitates cardiac studies. Dr. Chandraguptha Udugama, Nuclear Medicine Consultant at Lanka Hospitals, emphasized their commitment to exceptional patient care and the importance of embracing technological advancements.
