“Enhancing Diagnostics through Advanced Nuclear Medicine Technology”
SEHA Elevates Healthcare with Cutting-Edge Nuclear Medicine Technologies
Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) is leading the way in medical innovation by implementing state-of-the-art nuclear medicine technologies at its healthcare facilities. This advancement is set to greatly enhance diagnostic capabilities for patients in the region, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Nuclear medicine is a specialized field that uses radioactive materials, called radiopharmaceuticals, to analyze internal organ function and detect abnormalities. SEHA’s investment in this technology equips hospitals like Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, Mafraq Hospital, and Tawam Hospital with cutting-edge equipment.
One significant technology being introduced is the atomic emission tomography (PET) CT scanner. This advanced imaging device combines PET, which shows biological processes in the body, with CT, which provides detailed anatomical images. This fusion allows for precise visualization of organ function and structure, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as cancers, heart disease, and neurological disorders.
SEHA’s nuclear medicine department also features CT emission tomography scanners that detect gamma rays emitted by radiopharmaceuticals in the body to create detailed images of specific organs and tissues.
Moreover, SEHA has integrated high-precision radioisotope treatment equipment into its facilities. This technology enables targeted delivery of radiation therapy directly to diseased cells, reducing damage to healthy tissue. This approach is particularly effective in treating various cancers and other health conditions.
SEHA’s nuclear medicine services are supported by a team of highly qualified professionals, including experienced nuclear medicine consultants and specialized medical personnel. Patients can expect advanced diagnostic procedures, expert interpretation of results, and guidance on appropriate treatment options.
By embracing advanced nuclear medicine technologies, SEHA demonstrates its dedication to providing patients with access to the latest medical advancements. This investment enables more accurate and efficient diagnosis of a wide range of medical conditions, ultimately enhancing patient care and overall health outcomes.
