CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING

Imaging Centre at Institut Jantung Negara are equipped with the latest technology for diagnostic imaging. Our comprehensive range of services also includes imaging of the heart as well as other part of the body conducted by well – trained Radiologist, Cardiologist, Radiographers and other support staff. Other core competencies include oncological diagnostics and minimally invasive procedure such as percutaneous drainage and selected tissue biopsy. We possess state-of-the-art infrastructure for imaging with newly advanced diagnostic equipment, Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET-CT) in assessing cardiovascular disease and cancer. It effectively and effi ciently images the patients with faster scan times, low dose and accurate quantifi cation.

 

Recently on 24th June 2020, we marked history in our timeline by providing PET-CT cardiac perfusion study. This technique is using Rubidium-82 as radioisotope and Adenosine as pharmacological stress agent. This PET Rubidium rest and stress perfusion study, provides diagnostic ability to risk stratify patient that experiences chest pain. Unlike Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), PET can diagnose coronary artery disease as well as to access myocardial blood flow reserve or also called coronary flow reserve (CFR). This information is critical and provides clinicians on the patient’s future risk of cardiac events.

 

We also offer a single beat Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) scan with the latest technology to delineate the coronary arteries in identifying any blockages or abnormalities. Our CT scanner delivers excellent image quality and clinical capabilities through the convergence of coverage, spatial resolution, temporal resolution and spectral imaging – all in one. This new 512-slice system offers faster speed, higher definition and lower dose.

APART FROM PET-CT AND CARDIAC CT SCAN, WE ALSO OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:
