Digital Mammogram with Tomosynthesis

breast center04

A specific type of breast imaging that can produce results in 2D and 3D at the same time, taking about 10 seconds for each image and get a good result that helps detect cancer and makes diagnosis between the breast lump and tumor more accurate. Radiation oncologist can read the image in each dimension or each slices out a reconstruction image to analyze the shape and size of suspected lump. It can diagnose the difference between fat, connective tissue and lymphatic system to find small sized calcium that can signal the presence of cancer. Staging of the condition is a significant factor in the treatment as ‘the earlier the condition is found the more chance of cancer recover and treatment’.

3D Digital Mammogram comes with a low compression unlike the old device (X-ray) as the image goes in +/- 15º and displays a result in 3D. This makes the procedure less painful. Not only the radiation oncologist can read the result more accurate but also reduce recall rates and improves the quality of patients identification for breast biopsy of each patients.

Women age from 35 years old are advised to have breast examination every year or according to the specialist’s recommendation.

 

Advantages of 3 Tesla MRI in Musculoskeletal Imaging

mri001

Clinical musculoskeletal MR imaging is now transitioning from 1.5T to 3T systems.

The advantages of higher field strength in the evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders are apparent since the better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) can be applied in multiple fashions to improve imaging times and image resolution.

The potential for demonstrating and enhancing the visibility of several osseous, tendinous, cartilaginous, ligamentous and other intrinsic joint structures in faster scan time has been appreciated. Such clearer visualization of small structures and the pathology leads to potentially increased diagnostic accuracy. The potential of coil technology and parallel imaging for 3T MRI also helps produce superb images comparing to 1.5T systems. Excellent image quality has impressed referring orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists, plus the reduction in scan time has resulted in greater patient satisfaction and reduced anxiety. It has been shown that 3T MR imaging vastly improves diagnostic abilities in the musculoskeletal system, which means better patient care and management.

Diarrhea

 

seafood001

Travelers require considerable care to avoid “diarrhea”. If you do succumb to diarrhea, its intensity will depend on how much contaminated food or drink you con

1.  Eat food served steaming hot and cooked to order rather than food left out on trays or in chafing dishes.  Among fruits, choose those that have to be peeled (like oranges, bananas) rather than those you consume with the skin intact (like grapes).  Bread is usually safe.  Choose bottled soft drinks over freshly squeezed fruit juices or locally produced drinks like “nam oy” (sugar cane juice).  Buffets, a great way to try a variety of local foods and also one of the best way to contact diarrhea !

2. Avoid salads, uncooked fresh vegetables, and all shellfish.

3. Microorganisms clinging to people’s hands are a major source of contamination.  Do not eat anything that has been touched by hands.

4. Drinks with cube ice or tube ice are safe; drinks made with crushed ice or chipped ice from blocks are not.

Should you get a persistent case of diarrhea, remember to drink lots of fluids, as dehydration is a particular problem.  If children come down with diarrhea, it can be very serious and a physician should be contacted to recommend rehydration salts.  You should also contact a physician anytime you pass blood, have violent diarrhea or vomiting, as these are symptomatic of Amoebic Dysentery and haemorrhagic fevers like Cholera or Yellow Fever, and thus life-threatening.
