In the therapeutic building of the Regional Clinical Hospital of the city of Karaganda, a Center for radiation diagnostics has opened. Doctors have at their disposal high-precision and highly efficient computer and magnetic resonance imaging devices.
The Radiation Diagnostics Center was opened as part of a public-private partnership.
The clinic has 300 therapeutic beds. Patients from all over the region, including from rural regions, are concentrated. The 24/7 operation of the center will allow specialists to receive 50 patients per day. At the same time, most of the Karaganda residents will be able to receive the service for free within the framework of compulsory social health insurance.
Tomographs of the latest generation from the leading manufacturer of medical equipment in China were purchased for the center.
The CT scanner has 64 slices. A low dose of radiation will allow patients with oncohematological diseases to undergo examination. There was no such opportunity in the region before. The analysis of postcovid pneumonia has been added to the software – lung damage will be calculated automatically. There are also virtual coronary angiography programs for diagnosing the condition of the heart vessels. This will allow in the near future to open a cardiology department with 30 beds in the clinical hospital.
The device of magnetic resonance imaging 1.5 Tesla, which allows you to conduct research at a high level and obtain high-quality detailed images. The software makes it possible to examine both soft tissues and internal organs. Doctors will be able to identify tumors of various sizes at early stages, which will make it easier to navigate the tactics of treatment.
– The equipment is designed for patients with any body weight. Computed tomography – up to 250 kg, magnetic resonance imaging - up to 200 kg, – says the founder of Shipager Denis Podgainov. – There is also an X-ray machine in the center. The specialists are fully prepared, because this is the 10th center opened under the public-private partnership program. It employs 12 doctors.
