The hospital, which has already started various specialist treatments, has started MRI services from Wednesday. The hospital's radiology department, which has a helium-free state-of-the-art scan capability on a 1.5 Tesla MRI machine from Germany's Siemens, is headed by Consultant Radiologist Dr. Jeshan KC said.
‘It uses AI technology called Deep Resolve, which makes the scan time faster and the image quality better,’ he said, ‘It has automated positioning during MRI. There are only a few of these machines in Nepal.’
He said that the hospital has also started service with a city scan machine with a capacity of 192 slices from the same company. Since it uses a tin filter, unwanted radiation is blocked and only the necessary radiation is used, Dr. KC said. ‘The machine produces good images even with low radiation. Using AI technology in this machine, high-quality images can be produced with low radiation,’ he said, ‘Digital X-ray, video X-ray and mammography are also of high quality.’
With the start of MRI service, patients from the former Rapti and surrounding districts can now get all radiology services in Dang, he said. The hospital is providing specialist services in OPD for general physician, orthopedics and neurology, gynecology and obstetrics, general surgery, mental and neurological diseases, skin and sexual diseases, infant and pediatric diseases, ENT, dental, ophthalmology and physiotherapy, said Medical Director Consultant Physician Dr. Vachaspati Subedi.
Similarly, in critical care, ICU, NICU, PICU, SICU, HDU are operational and hemodialysis, cath lab and CCU services will be operational soon, he said. He informed that there are 11 operating rooms in the hospital, including eight modular ones. ‘There are ordinary and deluxe wards for patients who need to be admitted,’ he said, ‘Specialist services from the cardiology, neurology and urology departments will be provided soon.’
