Changwon Himchan Hospital Introduces Additional MRI Unit 2 with Fast Inspection Speed and High-Resolution Imaging Advantages

Sep 02, 2024

Changwon Himchan Hospital (Hospital Director Sanghoon Lee) has introduced the latest MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) equipment No. 2 and has been in operation since September 2.

The introduction of additional MRI equipment shortened the test time for outpatients, and rapid diagnosis and treatment were possible with same-day tests and same-day readings. By using more than twice the speed of inspection and high-resolution imaging technology, the accuracy of image reading is increased, stable inspection schedules and efficient equipment operation are possible.

MRI is a test that diagnoses diseases by reconstructing all parts of the human body into cross-sectional and three-dimensional images using strong magnetic fields, high frequencies, and computers. It is one of the most accurate and precise imaging tests in orthopedic and neurosurgery fields because it can immediately check arthritis, cartilage damage, and ligament damage, and accurately grasp the degenerative changes or nerve compression of the disk. Unlike X-rays and CT, it has the advantage of being harmless to the human body because it does not use radiation.

Siemens' newly introduced MRI equipment, "MAGNETOM Sempra" allows quiet and comfortable testing through noise reduction techniques, which can reduce patient anxiety when testing claustrophobic patients or pediatric patients. Patient-customized, high-channel, versatile flexible coil technology makes it easy to take pictures of all areas regardless of the patient's condition, and provides AI-based automation processing for rapid examination preparation. In addition, it has the advantage of shortening the shooting time by up to 70% compared to existing equipment, while obtaining images up to twice as high in resolution.

Director of Sanghoon Lee Hospital "In the meantime, we had to make an appointment and wait for an MRI exam, but with the introduction of additional equipment, if it becomes possible to take pictures on the same day and read them on the same day, patient inconvenience can be reduced."We will work harder to improve patient satisfaction and provide high-quality medical services by establishing a one-stop care system with rapid and accurate examination."

Meanwhile, Changwon Himchan Hospital is also holding an online quiz event to commemorate the introduction of additional MRI unit 2. If you add a Kakao Talk channel and leave the correct answer for the OX quiz by September 10, you will be given mobile coupons such as chicken, ice cream, and coffee to 20 people through a lottery.
