HÀ NỘI — Hanoi Medical University Hospital has installed the 3.0 Tesla SIGNA™ Architect MRI system made by GE HealthCare for use in treatment, medical training and clinical research.
As a leading public healthcare institution in Việt Nam and a hi-tech clinical training centre affiliated with the Hanoi Medical University, the hospital hopes to enhance its diagnostic and research capabilities with the new system.
The MRI machine, powered by artificial intelligence and modern medical imaging software, enables early and accurate detection of complex medical conditions.
Beyond conventional applications, it also enables advanced neurological, vascular, oncological, and musculoskeletal examinations.
It offers an intuitive platform that allows trainees to engage with imaging technology and enhance their skills in quantitative and functional image analysis.
It opens new avenues for conducting neurology and molecular cardiology research, facilitating scientific studies with practical applications and international publication potential.
It is one of GE HealthCare’s most advanced MRI systems to date, integrating a suite of high-end software applications designed to meet a full spectrum of clinical needs, from basic to highly specialised diagnostics.
It also features GE HealthCare’s advanced AI-powered image reconstruction technology that utilises multi-algorithm processing to reduce background noise and ensure optimal diagnostic image quality.
It enables whole-body imaging for cancer and metastasis screening from head to toe, following ONCO-RADS guidelines.
In breast cancer screening, its superior signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution enable the detection of very small lesions in high-risk patients.
In musculoskeletal imaging, it allows for early assessment of cartilage degeneration and cortical bone evaluation through innovative applications, offering a safer alternative to CT and X-ray with reduced ionising radiation exposure.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Lân Hiếu, director of the Hanoi Medical University Hospital, emphasised that the deployment of 3.0 Tesla SIGNA™ Architect MRI system would play a pivotal role in achieving the hospital’s “three-in-one” mission of high-quality healthcare services, international-standard medical training and advanced medical research. — VNS
