Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency, Kolkata: Ruby General Hospital was inaugurated on
25th April, 1995 and after completing 30 years of dedicated service in
Healthcare, Dr. Kamal K Dutta, a United States based NRI doctor has made
significant announcements that marked a new chapter in the ongoing mission of
providing quality care and service to all segments of society. After a
fullfilling journey of three decades, Ruby General Hospital is looking forward
to a better and brighter future, while, consistently focusing on expanding and
enhancing its services to facilitate and serve the community.
In a groundbreaking development for Eastern
India, Ruby Cancer Center, a unit of Ruby General Hospital has already
introduced the Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator, Version 3.0 with most user
friendly and advanced contouring system and Eclipse version 18 planning system.
This is the first of its kind in Eastern India and we have a dedicated CT
simulator along with this radiation machine for faster treatment. This
technology has revolutionized cancer treatment by providing precise and
effective care.
Today, Ruby General Hospital has also
officially inaugurated the first Digital PET CT in Kolkata. With unique
features and specifications this will reduce the time of PET CT from 30 minutes
to 5 minutes with the patient receiving only one third of the dose of
radiation. It will also give enhanced picture clarity. The biggest advantage of
Digital PET CT is that it can detect the smallest tumours which are missed by
analog PET CT. Tumours around 2.9 mm will be picked up while, the best analog
PET CT can pick up tumour sized above 4.3 mm. This will save many lives through
early detection and lessen the suffering of patients.
Some of the advantages are as follows:
Superior Image Quality and Lesion Detection
Enhanced Image Contrast
Lower Radiation Dose
Faster Scanning Time
Increased Patient Comfort
More Specific Disease Insights
Easy workflow with Al at every step
Improved Quantitative Accuracy providing
more precise and reliable data
Motion management with no external device
Digital Self Gating for resolving the lesions in chest and abdomen
Motion Management for Brain especially for
patients with Parkinson and neuro degenerative disorders who tend to move
during the scan
Dr. Kamal K Dutta, Chairman and Managing Director, also mentioned about the importance of preventive oncology and how simple cancer screening investigations like Pap Smear, Mammogram, Low Dose CT scan of chest (LDCT), Colonoscopy and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can help in the early detection of cancer.
Looking forward to your valued support as
we embark on this journey to serve the society through your esteemed media.
