The new syngo Blade sequence is extremely useful in minimizing motion induced artifacts in very sick patients.

Apart from this some advanced applications such as the following, help the specialists diagnose critical cases.
syngo SWI – A Siemens unique software which can diagnose micro-bleeds (diffuse axonal injury) and hemorrhagic transformation of stroke. The phase information is useful for detection of occult vascular disease (cavernomas, angiomas, and telangiectasias), cerebral venous thrombosis, intra-arterial clot detection and other mineral deposition. SWI is a very significant tool for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, etc.) and to characterize tumors.

syngo BOLD: is a comprehensive processing and visualization package for functional MRI studies. This allows the visualization of important brain centers, which control our activities, and the spatial relationship of these with normal anatomy or brain lesions. fMRI studies are helpful in neurosurgical planning, to assess the effects of neurodegenerative diseases, trauma or stroke on brain function, and brain mapping.

syngo Inline Perfusion: It is an important feature for looking into penumbra in case of acute stroke which can modify the treatment planning.

SOMATOM Definition AS+ 128 Slice Adaptive CT Scanner
SOMATOM Definition 128 slice Adaptive CT Scanner (AS+) is the world’s fastest single source CT scanner introduced by Siemens Healthcare. This CT Scanner adapts to virtually any patient and clinical need and is capable of all routine diagnostic work as well as advanced examinations in cardiology, neurology and oncology. It is also suited for emergency situations like accidents, stroke symptoms or atypical chest pain requiring speedy diagnosis. Even difficult to image patients – obese, trauma and children – are quickly scanned with high diagnostic confidence. The system with its 128 slices/per rotation, fast rotation speed of 300 ms, which is the fastest single source CT Scanner in the industry and high temporal resolution of 150 ms generates crystal-clear images with visualization of the finest anatomical details.

SOMATOM Definition AS+ is the first scanner to combine dynamic components such as the unique radiation dose reduction hardware such as Adaptive Dose Shield, which enable CT scanning with the lowest radiation dose for all types of patients. On this system, fast whole body examinations required for patients with multiple traumas are possible allowing faster application of life-saving treatment. Its high rotation speed and huge coverage enables excellent imaging of the coronary vessels with lowest radiation dose. The high isotropic resolution and validated measurement software permits highly accurate measurement of stenosis in coronary and peripheral vessels and visualization of stents for evaluation of patency.

Another outstanding feature of the SOMATOM Definition AS+ 128 slice CT Scanner is the comprehensive Oncology package which allows the latest Computer Aided Detection techniques for tumor evaluation.

IMMULITE - IMMUNO Chemistry Analyser
The Immulite Immuno assay system in the Bio-Chemistry Laboratory of Kanva is an easy-to-use automated analyzer with high performance assays providing an extensive assay menu of over 100 assays, with further developments and newer assays being introduced.
The flexibility of this system enables it to be programmed to run any tests or combination of tests and allows continuous loading of new samples. More over, STAT samples for urgent situations like cardiac markers or pregnancy detection, can be processed easily and effectively without disruption of routine testing.
In the standard mode of operation, the equipment has a throughput of up to 120 tests per hour, where each sample can undergo up to 5 tests. In case of urgent or STAT samples, the result can be produced in 15 minutes. The wash technique of the equipment ensures efficient removal of sample and reagent remains from the test unit.

The barcode system controls automation and tracking of units, thereby minimizing the intervention of a technician. The range of assays includes Hormones, Tumor markers, Metabolic drugs and Immunological profiles.
Furthermore, this equipment facilitates change of reagents without interruption in the processing of samples, so that the results are ready in minimum possible time.
Hormones, Drugs and Tumors Markers tested on Immulite include :
