The process of examining patients in Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital has now become easier, safer and more modern. Through new technology, identification of serious diseases will now be possible without surgery, which will provide relief to patients from time, risk and expense. Under this modern process, there will be no need for operation to remove tissue from the patient’s body for testing. Through modern CT scan technology, a sample of tissue or fluid will be taken by injecting it into the concerned organ.
With this process, diagnosis of the disease will be more accurate and the patient will also be saved from unnecessary pain and risk. Recently, two new CT scan machines have been introduced in the hospital, which will increase both the capacity and speed of testing.
Big relief in lung, liver and cancer tests
According to Professor Dr. Nishith Kumar, Nodal Officer of the Hospital’s Corporate Social Responsibility Scheme, this new testing method is very useful in confirming lung, liver, kidney lump, swelling present deep inside the chest or abdomen, bone related diseases and cancer. Through the clear imaging of CT scan, the doctor directs the needle to the exact location and completes the test by taking a very small sample from there.
Will get relief from expensive and risky surgery
Dr. Amita Malik, Chairman of the Radiology Department, said that earlier for such tests, many patients had to undergo biopsy through surgery. This process was not only expensive, but it was also prone to complications and taking a long time. This problem has been eliminated to a great extent by CT scan guided needle examination, because the risks are less and the results are more reliable.
Financially weak patients will get free benefits
Dr. Amita Malik told that this test done through CT scan will be made available completely free of cost. This will provide great relief especially to patients with weak financial condition. Now they will neither have to go to private hospitals nor wander in outside cities for confirmation of serious diseases.
New machines will increase testing capacity
According to Professor Dharmendra Kumar Singh, earlier there was only one CT scan machine in Safdarjung Hospital, through which about 150 patients could be examined daily. Due to the large number of patients, many times there was a long wait. Now with the addition of two new machines, there will be a significant increase in the daily CT scan tests. The hospital administration believes that with this facility, timely identification of serious diseases will be possible and patients will be able to get better treatment.
