Focus on heart health: New cardio-CT revolutionizes diagnostics in Uckermark!

In the Asklepios Clinic Uckermark in Schwedt, there is reason to be happy: The Institute for Imaging Diagnostics has raised its technical possibilities to a new level. With a freshly operated 64-line computer tomography system (CT), heart and vascular diseases can now be examined with a depth of detail that is superior to previous standards. This state-of-the-art investigation called "Kardio-CT" combines the expertise of radiologists and cardiologists and is now available.

Jens Hartmann, chief physician of the institute, is pleased about the innovations: "Due to the faster acquisition and higher resolution of the images, we can now work more efficiently and precisely." The switch to the new 64-line device not only increased the investigation speed, but also reduced radiation exposure. This is particularly crucial for emergency diagnostics, for example when suspected stroke or acute abdominal pain where every second counts.

cardio-CT opens up new perspectives

The cardio-CT offers a non-invasive way to assess the detailed assessment of coronary arteries and other cardiac structures. Marcin Jaworski, chief physician of cardiology, emphasizes how important this technology is for the early detection and diagnosis of heart disease. "We expand our diagnostic spectrum with an extremely precise method," says Jaworski. The high -resolution layer images of the new device are a valuable aid for precise localization of narrowing and calcification, which enables early interventions.

Progress in imaging diagnostics should not be underestimated. These methods have developed into the standard in cardiac diagnostics, in addition to classic heart ultrasound (echocardiography) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). "We can efficiently recognize heart problems and better assess the severity of well -known diseases," explains the department.

technological highlights

The Integration of the latest devices ensure that even complex heart structures can be precisely recorded. Among other things, 3D techniques in ultrasound and CT/MRI are used to create three-dimensional images in real time. The clinic offers a wide range of established procedures, including:

• echocardiography with 4D sonography devices
• MRI with 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla nuclear spinomographer
• cardio-CT with 64-line and 256-line CT

Overall, it can be seen that the new possibilities not only benefit the patient, but also revolutionize the work of the doctors. It is another step into the future of cardiac medicine, which is expected with enthusiasm in the Uckermark Clinic. More information is available on Nordkurier and AwKW .
