CT

本院設有先進的西門子雙源電腦斷層掃描器，描速度更快、影像更準確清晰、而輻射劑量更低。電腦斷層掃描(CT)使用複雜的X光技術，並結合從身體周圍不同角度拍攝的一系列X光影像，並使用電腦科技去創建骨骼，血管和軟組織的橫截面圖像(切片)。CT掃描圖像提供比普通X光更詳細的信息。

優點

• 執行心臟掃描時，由於儀器掃描速度快，因此心律不整、心房纖維性顫動、或因緊張而臨時心跳加快的患者無需使用β-Blocker等減緩心跳速度之藥物，仍可完成心臟掃描。大幅降低患者對藥物過敏所需承擔的風險，仍能取得清楚準確的冠狀動脈影像。
• 能在短時間內覆蓋更大範圍，顯影劑停留於血管或相關器官所需的時間亦可減少，因此顯影劑總注射劑量會顯著降低，從而減低腎臟的負荷。相比傳統單源頭電腦斷層掃描器，輻射劑量可減至約60%。
• 由於掃描速度快，不再需要保持閉氣狀態來獲取無動態(清晰)圖像。對於長時間難以屏住呼吸的老人和兒童尤其有益處。它減少了由於圖像質量欠佳而需召回重檢。

服務範圍

• 心血管掃描
• 腦部掃描

病人接受正電子掃描檢查可得知甚麼?

• 提早發現癌細胞病變
• 判斷癌症源頭
• 診斷癌症期數
• 分辨腫瘤是否出現擴散情況
• 提供資料協助腫瘤治療
• 評估治療成效
• 監察癌症復發跡象

優點

• 有效減低掃描時間及放射劑量
• 減少影像雜訊及提高影像質素
• 準確度和影像質素，高達雙倍提升
• 提升細微病灶的檢出率

DEXA Bone Densitometry

雙能量X光吸收儀，簡稱DEXA，主要用作檢查骨質密度，是目前評估骨質健康狀況的最佳方法。本院設有先進的HOLOGIC Discovery Ci雙能量X光吸收儀，醫生可透過該檢查來診斷骨質疏鬆症，來判斷未來發生骨折的風險，以及評估骨質疏鬆症治療的效果。標準的檢查部位為第1至4節腰椎及左髖關節，一般只需10-15分鐘便可得知結果。測試過程安全、無痛、快捷及準確，而偵測出來的誤差約為1%，可精確診斷出骨質密度情況。

骨質密度的量度標準

骨質密度的量度標準是T評分(T-score)，用來界定是否患上骨質疏鬆症。以下是根據世界衞生組織的標準，用雙能量X光吸收測量儀得出的T-分把骨質疏鬆程度分類:

骨質密度屬於正常 : T 評分高過 -1

骨質密度偏低 : T 評分 -1至 -2.5

骨質密度極低 : T 評分低於 -2.5

嚴重骨質疏鬆 : T 評分低於 -2.5 和曾患有骨折

Digital Mammography

本院設有先進的乳房X光造影系統HOLOGIC Selenia Dimensions 3D Mammograhy System，該系統可提供卓越的圖像質量，高效率的檢查及可配合各種先進的臨床應用軟件一併使用，為病人提供適切及有效的造影服務。此外，它的Genius 3D Mammography更可發現早期的乳癌及減少因假陽性結果而需召回重檢的機會。

優點

• 乳癌檢測率比傳統2D造影高41%。
• 不論乳房的大小，只需7秒便可完成斷層掃描。
• 減少曝光次數，可減低病人接收的輻射量。
• 臨床證實輻射量與傳統的2D造影相若。
• 減少因假陽性結果而需召回重檢的機會達40%。
• 因掃描時間短，可減輕乳房受壓的不適。

Ultrasound

超聲波檢查是利用高頻率音波，通過掃描器(探頭)，再經高科技的影像技術，將人體的內部器官即時掃描成圖像。在進行超聲波掃描檢查時，於檢查部位的皮膚上，會塗上一層薄薄的啫喱膏，讓掃描器所產生的超聲波能經過啫喱塗層而進入體內。與X光檢查不同，超聲波檢查是沒有電離輻射的，也可檢查到X光看不到的軟組織。

優點

• 這是一種沒有輻射，無創傷性的檢驗
• 比較快捷，方便和舒適

服務範圍

• 孕婦胎兒檢查︰診斷胎兒是否正常成長
• 彩色多普勒檢查︰診斷四肢血管阻塞
• 超聲波指引下抽取腫瘤活組織手術，例如乳癌等

Introduction

In a normal knee joint, there is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering on the articular surface. This smooth layer of cartilage can help to reduce the friction between the joint surface. Upon aging, the loss of articular cartilage leads to narrowing of joint space, increases friction and pressure on the articular surface, resulted in knee pain.

The aim of total knee replacement is to reduce the knee pain and improves the range of movement, so that people can have a pain free, functional knee. The average survival for total knee replacement should last around 15 to 20 years, it is recommended that for patient age over 50 and with severe knee pain can consider joint replacement surgery.

Normal Knee

Ageing Knee

Indication 

Severe osteoarthritis knee, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, fracture that lead to severe knee pain, swelling and limited range of movement.

Aims of Surgery

To reduce pain

To improve the range of movement of knee

Operation Procedure

Cobalt-chromium

Alloy for Femur

Alloy for Tibia

Total knee replacement is performed with a 15-20 cm midline wound across the knee joint. The articular bone and cartilage at femoral side and tibial side have to be removed. The implants are fixed with cement.

The femoral articular surface and tibial tray are made of cobalt-chromium and titanium alloys. The articulate insert is made of highly cross-linked polyethylene.

Preparation Before Operation

1. Basic blood test, electrocardiogram and Chest X ray.
2. Stabilize the underlying medical condition eg. Ischemic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, anaemia, shortness of breath.
3. No food and drink 6 hours before operation.
4. Clean the operative knee, may need shaving and urinary catheterization.

Anaesthesia

Spinal anaethesia or general anaesthesia.

Post Operative Care

1. Usually will resume diet after operation.
2. Crepe bandage may be applied on the knee to control the bleeding and swelling. 
3. There may be a drain at the operative knee to drain out the blood. Foley catheter may be inserted when necessary. Need to pay attention to the drain and catheter when get out of the bed.
4. Drain usually will be removed 1 or 2 days after the operation. 
5. Analgesic will be prescribed to relieve the pain.
6. Early mobilization is recommended. Can start walking with walking aids 1 to 2 days after the operation.

Discharge Plan

• Patient usually can be discharged 3 to 4 days after the operation.
• Wound will be healed around 10 to 14 days and the stitches will be removed after 2 weeks.

Risk of Operation and Complications

Risk of Anaethesia

• General complications:
  Pneumonia, myocardiac infarction, stroke.
• Risk of spinal anaethesia:
  Epidural haematoma, nerve injury.

General Complications of Surgery

• Bleeding, haematoma, infection.
• Wound complications.

Physiotherapy After Surgery

Lift up the foot and toes, hold for 2 seconds, then move the foot down for 2 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Put a towel beneath the knee, press the knee down, hold for 10 seconds, 10-25 times a set, perform 3-4 sets a day.

Put a towel beneath the knee and make the knee bend in 30 degree, then straighten your leg, hold for 5-10 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Straighten the knee, lift the whole leg till 30 degree, keep it for 5-10 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Bend the knee as much as possible, then slowly straighten the leg, repeat 10 times, perform 3-4 sets a day.

Specific Complications for Total Knee Replacement

Nerve Injury

There may be numbness or weakness if the peripheral nerve gets injured.

Vascular Injury

The risk of vascular injury in total knee replacement is very rare. Arterial repair may be required if major artery injury happens.

Deep Vein Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolism

Leg Length Discrepancy

Fracture

Fracture would happen during operation or after operation.

Dislocation

Loosening of the parts or joint dislocation.

Revision Surgery

Wearing is possible after joint replacement surgery. With time, there may be loosening of implants and need revision surgery. According to latest study, the survival for total knee replacement should last around 15-20 years.
