Details

Multislice CT Scanner (640 Slice The Aquilion ONE PRISM Edition)

The Aquilion ONE PRISM Edition is the most advanced wide-detector, low radiation dose and an AI-assisted CT scanner. It is capable of capturing an entire heart in less than 1 sec providing excellent high resolution images clear of noise for a better diagnostic.

General X-Ray

General X-Ray is the most commonly performed type of diagnostic examination. It is the fastest and easiest way to view and assess broken bones, joints, skull or spinal injuries. Pantai Hospital Ipoh has 3 general x-ray units to assist in reducing waiting time for patients who require this service.

Digital Mammography

A regular mammogram screening is recommended for women age 40 years and above. Women with family history of breast cancer are encouraged to undergo a breast mammogram from the age of 35 years onwards.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI 1.5 Avanto fit Biomatrix)

• Reduces sound pressure up to 97% giving a better patient experience during the procedure.
• Highly efficient software allowing faster patient turnover and shorter procedure time.
• System supported by Al (Artificial Intelligence) ensuring high image accuracy.
• Minimal artifacts caused by movement make it child and elder-friendly.
• High-quality images allow it as an accurate diagnostic tool.

Ultrasound & doppler scans

Ultrasound utilises sound frequency instead of radiation to capture an image making it a safer option for all age groups. It can be used even during pregnancy to scan foetal growth. Doppler scans are used to scan blood vessels, beneficial for patients suffering from DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

Bone Densitometry

Bone Densitometry is a test like an X-ray that quickly and accurately measures the density of bones. It is used to measure bone loss or identify problems such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Digital Fluoroscopy (Philips EasyDiagnost Eleva)

The EasyDiagnost Eleva provides you with immediate diagnostic information and superb does efficiency. Comprehensive X-ray dose management with DoseWise features to support short fluoroscopy times and low patient dose.
