MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AT THE KOÇ UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Thanks to the Wehbi Koç Foundation and the attention of the management, the clinic has innovative equipment for the diagnosis and therapy of patients.
Technical equipment of the clinic for the treatment of cancer patients:
Radiotherapy Varian, Trilogy® System Linear Accelerator - the device is intended for radiation therapy of cancer patients. With the help of the built-in thermal imaging, the location of the tumor is determined with millimeter accuracy and radiological radiation is directed accurately. This device reacts to the slightest movement of the tumor, which prevents radiation from entering the healthy tissue.
Brachytherapy with the help of Nucletron Microselectron HDR - allows effective and safe treatment of cancer patients, including cancer of the prostate gland, cervix, nasopharynx.
Department of Radiology is equipped with advanced equipment for high-quality diagnostics, among which special attention should be paid to:
PET / CT GE Discovery 710 - an advanced state-of-the-art device that opens up new possibilities in diagnostics. Detailed images help to accurately determine the extent of the disease, the effectiveness of treatment and determine the future strategy, which improves the quality of therapy and the chances of recovery
MRI scanners (including 3 Tesla MRI) - Premium systems that cope with complex diagnostic tasks and provide the highest resolution images. This is an advantage in diagnosing and determining further treatment of patients;
Multislice computer tomography (including ultrafast computed tomography) allows obtaining detailed three-dimensional images for the study of diseases with the greatest safety for the patient;
Also, diagnostic rooms have advanced devices for fluoroscopy and angiography, systems for stereotactic biopsy, digital mammographs and X-rays.
