According to the Canadian newspaper Ming Pao, after nearly five years of research, Chinese scientists at the University of Ottawa Heart Research Center (UOHI) recently discovered the use of advanced Medical Imaging technology to quickly diagnose and predict patients' risk of heart disease and death.
This technology is developed from Computed Tomography (CT), which has long been in the medical field.
In 2006, a 64-slice spiral (64-Slice) CT was first introduced at the Heart Institute of the University of Ottawa, which was the first in Canada to apply the machine to heart disease research. Over the past few years, more than 24,000 clinical applications have provided the research center's technicians with a wealth of reliable data that ultimately helped them discover the machine's remarkable capabilities for rapid diagnosis and prediction of heart patients.
It is understood that in the normal heart center, patients usually pass Catheterization, and the examination is completed after a 45-minute process (usually staying at the center for 6 hours). With 64-slice spiral CT, the entire detection process takes only 7 to 10 seconds, and it can clearly see the coronary artery calcification that causes lesions in the heart, and plaques that are prone to arterial obstruction.
UOHI co-director Benjamin Chow said the center's goal in opening the study was to reduce patient waiting time and find an effective test for coronary artery disease. "If we can detect the risk of heart disease for patients as soon as possible, we can prevent and reduce the risk. Our research has officially utilized the heart and studied the diagnostic function of CT to find this result."
