Bangkok Hospital reinforces its position as a Smart Hospital, a digital hospital that integrates technology and information systems with medical services and internal processes to enhance patient care efficiency.
WALKBOT – a robotic assisted gait training of a treadmill – is designed to restore their walking abilities or negate their impairment for more accessibility in their daily life.
Medical advancements have continued to expeditiously accelerate the pace of changes, allowing better treatment outcomes with an improved quality of life for the patients.
For cancer patients who need to undergo radiotherapy or radiation therapy to stop the growth and destroy cancer cells, there has been a development in radiation technology that meets the needs of patients and has more effective treatment outcomes with the Vital Beam machine, which is designed on a modern platform to maximize the benefits of treatment.
ECMO stands for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. You will also hear the term ECLS or Extracorporeal Life Support. ECMO is a special procedure that takes over the work of the heart and/or lungs when they are too sick to properly support the body. ECMO allows the heart and/or lungs time to rest and heal. ECMO does not cure these organs, but allows them time to rest.
By launching the “Hybrid Operating Room Full Function”, Bangkok Heart Hospital continues to be Thailand’s leader in heart surgery. The Hybrid OR combines cutting edge surgery systems with x-ray imaging equipment (Flexmove-Heart Navigator) to improve accuracy in locating surgical sites.
A linear accelerator (LINAC) customizes high energy x-rays to conform to a tumor’s shape and destroy cancer cells while sparing surrounding normal tissue.
“Fast, precise, accurate and convenient”
A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan lets your doctor analyze the function of some of your internal organs. A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3-D pictures.
The PET/CT Scan is a cutting-edge nuclear medicine imaging technique which is considered the new standard for diagnosis of cancerous tumors. It is a combination between the PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) which is able to detect cancerous cell abnormalities at the molecular level with the CT scan (Computed Tomography) which is capable of detecting physiologic abnormalities.
The underlying idea of radiosurgery is a high-intensity beams of radiation are used with great precision and accuracy to destroy cancer cells within 1-5 treatment sessions as opposed to several weeks with conventional radiotherapy
