SC Cancer Technology
Screening Saves Lives…
At San Cristóbal Cancer Institute we have conducted exhaustive industry research and invested aggressively in the latest technology in detection and treatment of a variety of cancer types, to ensure the best possible patient outcomes and elevate the local standard in cancer treatment. Through partnerships with some of the leading healthcare manufacturers, we have developed a holistic approach to cancer care, applying the expertise and wealth of resources that Grupo San Cristóbal boasts through its multidisciplinary team of medical professionals and administrative leadership.
Why are we so deeply committed? Because we believe that screening saves lives and prompt treatment can truly make a difference in a patient’s life, but only if coupled with the best tools, and the most knowledgeable medical staff to provide efficiency and assurance to a patient before, during and after their journey through cancer.
Introducing SIGNA™ Architect mpMRI Technology
The revolutionary technology of the SIGNA™ Architect allows our team to obtain cleaner, crisper images with AIR™ Recon, a latest-generation reconstruction engine. These technological advances translate into efficiencies for our staff and for our patients, as we can shorten exam setup times times and improve test processes with AIR Touch™ and AIRx ™*, a series of new intelligent workflows for automated coil selection and slice prescription. Using AIR™ Recon, 80% of cases get improved image quality without added time.
By reducing scan time up to 50% with HyperSense*, we can transform the patient experience and reach new levels of versatility with AIR™ Coils*, recipient of AuntMinnie’s 2019 Best New Radiology Device award. For maximum comfort and efficacy, the adaptive AIR™ Coils accommodate all types of scans and patient sizes, while the feet-first imaging reduces claustrophobia rejection rate by 90%. The machine also allows for non-contact, free-breathing scanning with Auto Navigator.
State-Of-The-Art
PET/CT Scan
Biograph Horizon enables our physicians to visualize small lesions early. The system provides higher resolution and better image quality, which is valuable for many indications, like lung cancer – the most common PET/CT test. The system’s efficient high-contrast, high-resolution PET/CT with Time-of-Flight helps our medical team identify additional diagnostic procedures, supporting improved patient outcomes, lower procedure costs, and reduced liability risks.
To increase productivity and time spent with patients, Biograph Horizon simplifies our staff’s daily routine and lets us get back to patient treatment. For example, we can run quality control procedures overnight, scans can be performed in as fast as 5 minutes, and reconstruction runs alongside acquisition for image delivery just 30 seconds after the scan. This allows us to reduce our operation time and spend more time sharing our insight with patients and their families.
