Radio Sintonia:
The CEM Fuerteventura Medical Center incorporates the first CT scan of 160 cuts and artificial intelligence in the Canary Islands.
The new CT scanner equipment of the EMF is a state-of-the-art model of the Canon brand, capable of reducing by more than 90% the doses of radiation received by the patient, in addition to making much more accurate diagnoses thanks to artificial intelligence.
The CEM Fuerteventura Medical Center is in the renovation and updating phase of all its radiodiagnostic services and equipment, with the aim of offering the majorera society the most modern technology that currently exists in the health sector.
In this sense, and after much effort, "we have acquired and put into operation this new TAC, unique in its kind in the Canary Islands, and that responds to a historical demand that there was in the health of the island," said the manager of the center, Marisa Darias.
"And not only do we cover a need, but we do it by incorporating the most modern equipment among all those available in the health market," added Darias. In this sense, the new CT scan of the CEM (Computerized Axial Tomography), "incorporates artificial intelligence technology, and thanks to this it is possible to reduce by more than 90% the doses of radiation received by the patient, and achieving much sharper images. With all this, logically, we get a better diagnosis than with older devices, and we also respond to another demand on the island, such as performing dental CT scans."
"We are very happy with this new equipment, because it is the only one of these characteristics that exists in the Canary Islands," added Raúl de León, from the management of the CEM. "Thanks to this new CT scan, we are going to greatly improve the quality of the diagnostics we do at the center. And this is essential to be able to act on any patient's need, follow up or plan recovery therapy."
This new TAC, acquired from the prestigious Canon brand, is an Aquilion Lightning SP model with the capacity to make up to 160 ultra-definition cuts. It has the latest technological advances to perform scans with a maximum reduction of the radiation dose, and software with AI systems of artificial intelligence and deep learning (deep learning) that significantly increases the accuracy of the diagnosis.
CT, or Computerized Axial Tomography, is an advantage over other radiodiagnostic services, as far as patient examinations are concerned. For example, reducing the need for exploratory surgeries, or guiding the treatment of common conditions such as injuries, heart disease, etc. It is a high-resolution imaging technology that allows patients to be scanned quickly, so that doctors can quickly assess their condition.
"The investment to acquire this equipment has been very important. But we are a company that in the end works with people's health, we serve the people who live in Fuerteventura, and that is why it is worth doing, "concluded de León.
In addition to the new equipment, the CEM Fuerteventura Medical Center has in its staff more qualified professionals for its management, both in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and X-rays, and thus be able to offer patients a close treatment and according to their needs, in all areas of radiodiagnosis.
