Evangel Hospital is equipped with the GE Lunar Prodigy ADVANCE dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA/DXA) scanner, which allows for a comprehensive scan of whole-body bone density and body composition in a single session. The scanning range is wider. DEXA/DXA is a method used to assess the calcium and mineral content within bones. It uses a lower radiation dose compared to traditional chest X-rays and is known for its relative safety and accuracy.

High-risk groups for osteoporosis include：

• Middle-aged/elderly individuals
• Lack of exercise
• Family history
• Excessive sodium/caffeine intake
• Inadequate long-term intake of calcium/vitamin D
• Unhealthy habits (smoking, excessive alcohol consumption)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Long-term use of high-dose corticosteroid medications

The hospital is offering a 40% discount on bone density scans for individuals aged 50 and above (the discounted price is only $660). Individuals aged 75 and above can enjoy a 50% discount (the discounted price is only $550 yuan).

PET-CT Centre of Evangel Hospital is equipped with GE Healthcare Discovery MI positron emission tomography/computer tomography (Digital PET-CT). It is currently the most advanced PET- CT imaging technology and also a future trend. Comparing to traditional analogue system in the market, digital PET-CT has a higher sensitivity and image resolution. The new digital system could significantly reduce examination time and radiopharmaceutical dose up to 50%, allowing decrease absorption of radiation dose by examinees as compared to traditional systems. The digital detectors also could improve accuracy and help to identify small and early lesions.

What medical information could be gathered from PET-CT?

• Distinguishing cancer at early stage
• Identifying location and structure of tumour
• Grading and staging of cancer
• Determining condition of metastasis, if any
• Assisting in treatment planning
• Assessing treatment effectiveness
• Monitoring cancer recurrence if any

Advantages of New PET-CT Scanner DISCOVERY MI*

• Significant Reduction of Scanning Time & Radiation Dose
  Digital PET detector converts received radiation information directly to image signal. It increases the sensitivity of the equipment, allowing scanning time and radiation dose to be reduced.
• ASiR-V Reconstruction Technology
  Reducing image noise and enhancing image quality.
• Up to 2x Improvement of Image Quality & Accuracy
  Innovative reconstruction technology including the combination of Time-of-Flight (TOF) and Q.Clear, which improves image quality and accuracy .
• Increasing the Detectability of Small Lesions
  Improves the visualization of small lesions so that early cancer/abnormalities can be easily detected.

he 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 is around 15 to 20 years, it is recommended that for patient age over 50 and with severe knee pain can consider joint replacement surgery.

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:
• 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.

Package Price：$133,000 (Effective on 6 May, 2024)
