Philips gives the Hospital de Bellvitge of technology more advanced medical nuclear.

Bellvitge Hospital will have the first SPECT-CT system with flat panel Spain.

Barcelona, June 2010.- El Hospital de Bellvitge will be the first of Spain to have at its disposal a SPECT-CT with flat panel. He is the system SPECT / CT BrightView XCT from Philips that combines in a single device for a single photon emission CT (single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT) and CT (computed tomography, CT) with flat detector technology.

SPECT is a powerful tool of Nuclear Medicine that provides doctors with very relevant information on the diagnosis of certain pathologies within the field of Oncology, cardiology, Neurology, orthopedics. Diagnosis by SPECT provides us with information on how a particular organ, if there are Metastases of certain tumors, internal bleeding, inflammation and a host of diseases.

CT (CT Computerizada), combines x-ray with an advanced information technology to create highly detailed and precise diagnosis images. THE CT that presents the new Philips BrighView XCT system presents an exclusive and innovative technology: a “ volumetric CT with Flat Panel detector ”. A new concept of CT who makes that very low doses of irradiation, with image quality that allows a location can be used and provides accuracy in the diagnosis.

The technologies of SPECT/CT Fusion represents an advance in diagnostic imaging in all medical areas. SPECT technology provides functional bodies information, while hardly gives anatomical information. On the other hand, TC provides a very detailed image of the internal anatomy. Separately, each diagnostic imaging test is very effective for a wide variety of applications. But the diagnostic accuracy is increased when using this type of hybrid systems.

The device was presentaó yesterday at 13.00 h in the presence of the Committee of management of the Hospital de Bellvitge, Dr. Martin Comín (Chief of the Nuclear Medicine Service), representatives of the ICS (Catalan Health Institute), D. Ignacio Ayerdi (Director General of Philips healthcare), Mrs. Elena Pantoja (Manager of Philips healthcare Nuclear Medicine). In this presentation we saw already system SPECT / CT BrightView XCT Philips which is now part of the facilities of the Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona.

The use of sunglasses will also protect the eyes of other annoyances of the summer such as dry eye, very common at this time due to the Sun, heat and Breeze, weather conditions with direct light, may worsen the quality of the vision.

When purchasing an article of this kind, must combine a comfortable vision adapted to the activity that develops your buyer with the maximum possible protection and this can be obtained only if the glasses are accredited by the European Community and have a quality sunscreen. In this sense, “ the color of the lens is not concerned with protection from ultraviolet rays because the absorption of these rays is given by the material of the glass used in glasses ”, explains Dr. Rodrigo Abreu, optional service of Hospital Universitario Ntra Ophthalmology specialist. Mrs. Candelaria.

Lenses of contact in swimming pools and beaches without

The use of contact lenses is very widespread among the population with a vision problem, but in the summer is not advisable to use when bathing beaches or swimming pools, since these articles are not designed for these aquatic activities.

To intensify the training and exercises for strength and power are added, it increases the risk of suffering more important as fibrillar ruptures and chronic tendinopatías lesions. The incorporation of exercises in coordination with ball and specific gestures of a sport, also increases type injuries articulate as sprains ankle or knee, and typical tendon injuries, such as pubalgias, because in the case of football, the physical overhead prior to the start of the season.
