AIMS
has established the first filmless hospital in Southeast Asia.
All radiology images are stored in a computer image archive and
are available, within minutes, on any of the computers conveniently
located throughout the hospital.
AIMS digital equipment includes: Spiral CT Scanner, Radio Fluoroscopy
with Digital Subtraction Angiography, Colour Doppler High-Resolution
Ultrasound Scanner Ultrasound Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Image
Scanner (MRI), and Gamma Camera with a wide variety of isotope scanning
capabilities.
The Medical Imaging Centre is one of the finest international centres
of its kind. New high performance equipment together with a hospital-wide,
all digital, imaging, archival and retrieval system establishes
AIMS as an important referral site.
Procedures using imaging equipment for guidance (Interventional
Radiology) reduce hospital stays and costs, reduce the need for
major surgery, and can save lives. Hundreds of patients have benefited
from interventional procedures like guided biopsy, abscess drainage,
nephrostomy, angioplasty, and embolizations.
