Pune: Ruby Hall Clinic has introduced cutting-edge CT scan technology that can complete a scan in mere seconds, significantly reducing the typical 20 to 25-minute wait time. This advancement allows for faster diagnosis and treatment, with MRI scan times also cut down to just five minutes.
Dr. Parvez Grant, President and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, highlighted that patients will not incur any additional charges for these advanced services. Ruby Hall Clinic is the first hospital in the country to implement such modern equipment.
The new CT scan device can scan the heart in just two seconds, clearly displaying each artery, facilitating immediate diagnosis, and expediting treatment. For accident patients, a full-body CT scan now takes only 15 to 16 seconds, enabling precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Previously, MRI scans took 35 minutes; with the new machine, it takes only five minutes. This makes Ruby Hall Clinic one of the most advanced medical facilities, he asserted.
Dr. Pranav Mahadevkar, Head of Radiology Department, Ruby Hall Clinic said, "The new MRI is three-dimensional and highly useful for scanning complex patients. The images are clear and detailed. For a brain MRI, only five minutes are needed compared to the previous 25 to 30 minutes.
The saved time can be used for immediate treatment. Previously, some patients needed to be sedated for scans, but this new technology has eliminated that need."
