CT MRI Ultrasound Mammogram Biopsies X-ray & DXA

The First Philips Spectral CT7500 CT Scanner

in Hong Kong at Central Building

For better diagnosis and clinical management

26% reduction in follow-up scans due to incomplete diagnosis*

23% increase in diagnostic confidence in increased lesion conspicuity**

*Analysis by LSU, New Orleans, LA, USA.

** Analysis by SNUH, Seoul, South Korea.

For more patient comfort

Only One Scan to generate result for conventional CT and Additional 10 Spectral Assessments

Only One Scan for both Contrast and Non-Contrast results

Spectral CT is an imaging technology that allows clinicians to differentiate the various elements in the body based on their material density and atomic number, providing both anatomical and tissue composition information.

Conventional CT

Cannot reflect stent patency due to metal artifacts

Spectral CT

Iodine no water image

In-stent plaque can be shown clearly

Spectral CT

Z effective image

Different structures with different effective atomic numbers are shown in different colours. Plaque in stent is demonstrated clearly

Conventional CT

Spectral CT

MonoE 40 keV image

Spectral CT

has demonstrated a high sensitivity in detecting malignant findings

Conventional CT

Spectral CT

Calcium suppression image

allows identification of bone marrow edema

Spectral CT

Calcium suppression fused

Ultrasound Services

Philips EPIQ Elite is the highest model in Philips ultrasound lineup. The exceptional level of clinical performance, workflow, and advanced intelligence make it ultimate solutions to new level of diagnostic confidence.

Ultrasound Services include various body parts such as head and neck regions, thyroid gland, abdomen and pelvis, musculoskeletal parts.

Supersonic ultrasound models allow anatomical structures to be seen clearly and distinctly. It enhances margin delineation and distinction of discrete tissue types.

It is also equipped with shear wave elastography, which is a real time color-coded elasticity map with objective measurement of tissue stiffness.

Studies have shown that shear wave elastography can improve specificity of ultrasound mass assessment without compromising sensitivity.

Mammogram

Hologic__0018_Selenia® Dimensions® Mammography System_0.jpg

Mammography (Services are provided at Hong Kong Women's Imaging)

Conventional mammogram is a 2D image. The diagnostic power is limited by overlapping tissues. 3D mammogram captures multiple slices of the breast, all at different angles. Multiple images of the breast are reconstructed into 1mm thin slice of the breast. The radiologist is then able to review the reconstructed images, one thin slice at a time.

With this technology, overlapping glandular tissue can be removed and cancers can be more accurately diagnosed. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of United States as a screening and diagnostic tool for breast cancer.

Diagnostic power

- 3D mammogram gives more information by uncovering abnormalities from overlapping tissues，increases invasive cancer detection rate by 40-51%

Less Additional view

- 3D mammogram can eliminate the need for additional spot compression view. This avoids unnecessary radiation, compression and anxiety

Radiation dose

- 3D mammogram is comparable to that of 2D digital mammogram and well below FDA safety level (Radiation dose of conventional 2D mammogram is much higher)

Tissue Biopsy Services of Various Body Parts

Ultrasound Guided Biopsy Services are provided at Hong Kong Medical Imaging, Hong Kong Women's Imaging, and Hong Kong MRI

Fine Needle Aspiration
(FNA)

Core Biopsy

Vacuum Assisted Biopsy/Excision

Day procedure, no skin incision
For cytological analysis only, may need biopsy for further evaluation
Mainly for cystic lesion

Day procedure under local anaesthesia
No skin incision
Aim at tissue sampling for histology. It allows tumour marker analysis and to differentiate invasive or in-situ cancer

Minimally invasive procedure
Day procedure under local anaesthesia
Small skin wound, suture not necessary
Can remove lesion completely.
Sampling size larger than core biopsy and fine needle aspiration, thus more accurate result
Can replace open surgery for removal of benign lesion such as fibroadenoma

Tomosynthesis / Stereotactic Guided Breast Biopsy Service is provided at Hong Kong Women's Imaging

Tomosynthesis Guided Breast Biopsy

It is important to localize the lesion accurately to get a good tissue sample. Our centre is the first in Hong Kong that provides advanced stereotactic guided biopsy using 3D mammogram technique in 2014. In 2016, the first Prone Breast Tomosynthesis Biopsy System in Asia has been installed in our Central Buidling centre.

It is suitable for biopsy of breast microcalcifications, masses, asymmetric densities and architectural distortions. Under tomosynthesis guidance, vacuum assisted biopsy with marker placement or core biopsy method can be chosen for tissue sampling.

Prone Breast Tomosynthesis Biopsy System

The system is designed with patients' physical and emotional comfort in mind. Direct view of the biopsy needle is eliminated and thus reduce patients stress. We can quickly identify, target and access lesions using tomosynthesis to help reduce procedure time.

Biopsies

Digital X-ray & Dual X-ray Absortiometry (DXA)

X-ray & DXA

Vacuum Assisted Biopsy/Excision

Minimally invasive procedure
Day procedure under local anaesthesia
Small skin wound, suture not necessary
Can remove lesion completely.
Sampling size larger than core biopsy and fine needle aspiration, thus more accurate result
Can replace open surgery for removal of benign lesion such as fibroadenoma

Digital Radiography (X-ray) of various body parts provides detailed and precise images with relatively lower radiation dose.
