Ambulatory Healthcare Services, a SEHA healthcare facility, now offers the latest Computer Tomography (CT) scans to help treat a wide range of patients seeking medical attention at the Oud Al Touba Diagnostic and Screening Center in Al Ain.
CT scans are a non-invasive, state-of-the-art medical imaging technique used by trained hospital and clinic staff to get detailed images of the body and to help doctors make a swift and accurate diagnosis of a patient’s condition and the required treatment.
Dr. Omar Al Jaberi, Chief Medical Officer, said: “In line with the strategic objectives of SEHA to provide world-class healthcare services to our patients, we have recently added the latest CT scan services at the Oud Al Touba Diagnostic and Screening Center in Al Ain, which will serve patients across the Al Ain region. The addition of this healthcare technology will help in providing easy access to state-of-the art diagnostic services that will in turn contribute to early diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.”
Dr. Hesham Al Gazzar, Chair of Radiology, added: “Having this CT scan in an ambulatory care setting enables us to provide quick turnaround results for patients. In fact, patients visiting Oud Al Touba will be able to get their results within 24 hours, to that, the equipment we are introducing will help us to detect pulmonary, gastrointestinal, orthopaedic and neurological disorders as well as sinuses, ear, nose, and throat abnormalities. The device provides clearer images even in complex anatomical areas of the body, such as the base of the skull.”
The new CT scan service is the most recent addition to Oud Al Touba Diagnostic and Screening Center, which is also home to an Endoscopy Unit. The unit uses cutting edge vision analysis and imaging technologies, along with advanced optics and image-corrective sensors, for use in a range of procedures including Colonoscopies, which scan for tumors to detect and treat colon cancer. The unit also provides upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies for the diagnosis of digestive abnormalities and illnesses.
