Cardiac Catheterization
Laboratory:
The GE flat panel Catheterisation lab provides
state-of-the-art diagnostic and interventional
coronary and peripheral vascular procedures.
The flat-panel detectors help superior imaging
quality and more efficient radiation dose
improving the detection and intervention
of cardiac disease.
GE Innova flat panel digital system - this
multi-view camera rotates around the patient,
allowing for different X-ray views without
moving the patient. Our new cath lab features
new state-of-the-art equipment. We use 40
percent less radiation, 40-50 percent less
contrast dye, and the image quality is greatly
enhanced with the new technology.
In a cardiac catheterization procedure,
a physician guides a thin plastic tube called
a catheter through an artery in the arm
or leg and into the heart and the coronary
arteries in the heart. Dye is injected through
the catheter into the coronary arteries.
This test can measure blood pressure and
how much oxygen is in the blood, and detect
any blockages which may need to be repaired
through interventional means.
Cardiologists perform cardiac catheterizations
to diagnose and treat cardiac disease, especially
coronary artery disease. Depending on the
severity of a patient's case, treatment
may include angioplasty and stenting, as
well as coronary artery bypass surgery.
Accurate, high-quality images are imperative
in determining the optimal path of therapy
for each patient. Tiny blood vessels of
the heart are hard-to-see, and its minute
moving structures require an imaging system
with finite resolution and distortion-free
imaging techniques.
Approximately one-third of patients with
coronary artery disease will undergo coronary
angioplasty and stenting. Outcomes of angioplasty
and stent procedures show a dramatic improvement
in morbidity and mortality, as well as the
treatment in myocardial infarction patients.

the GE Voluson 730 stands uncontested among
its competitors in frame rate and overall
image quality for 4D imaging. This is also
the unit that always carries the newest technologies
first (among the Voluson units), making it
the best unit for perinatology, level 2 ultrasounds,
research institutions, and others seeking
the best, most technically advanced 4D ultrasound
on the market. It provides true real time
volume data acquisition which enables images
to be visualized as never before.
Features:
• 3D/4D Imaging
• Automatic Tissue Optimization
• B, B/M, M Mode
• PW/CW Doppler
• Digital Beamformer with 512 Channels
• Tissue Harmonic Imaging
• Tissue Doppler Imaging
• Power Doppler Imaging
The
General Electric Logiq 200 Alpha
One of the most preferred ultrasounds in the
OB/GYN market. Its history of reliability,
good image quality, and quick-and-easy use
made it a leader in the industry. It has solid
penetration and is easy to use.
The GE Logiq 200 Alpha has some of the
advanced technology used in the higher-end
Logiq series of ultrasounds. It has a tilt-and-swivel
12" monitor, programmable presets and
an optional 64-frame cine memory. It also
runs a linear probe and is used for inserting
PICC lines, pain management, chiropractic
and other musculoskeletal applications.
