His Excellency Humaid Al Qutami, Director General of Dubai Health Authority (DHA)\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b inaugurated two AI medical imaging systems \u201cVIDA 3T 64 XT MRI\u201d and \u201cAcuson Sequoia Ultrasound\u201d at \u200bAl Zahra Hospital Dubai (AZHD) on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheikh Dr. Faisal Al Qassimi, Chairman of Gulf Medical Projects Company and a group of DHA senior officials attended the launch of the first-of its-kind innovative technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the launch, Al Qutami said that the private sector is one of the main contributors to the development of the healthcare sector in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDHA aims to support the private healthcare sector to provide high quality services that are in line with the vision of the UAE and Dubai 2021, of providing world-class healthcare services to the people of Dubai. We aim to partner with the private healthcare sector to achieve our strategic goals of reaching a healthier and happier society and to support them in fostering creativity and innovation to provide quality services to meet the healthcare needs of the Dubai community.\u201d HE Al Qutami added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also stressed the importance of utilizing artificial intelligence and smart technologies in healthcare in line with the directives and vision of Dubai to elevate the quality of services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo embody the principles endorsed by UAE Vision 2021 National Agenda for Health, which encouraged the adoption of AI, AZHD adopted the latest AI backed medical imaging technologies for the first time in the UAE among the few eminent hospital systems that adopted this technology globally,\u201d Stated Dr Mohaymen Abdelghany, Chief Executive of AZHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the addition of the new MRI, patients from Dubai and UAE can easily access our Same Day MRI Report Service where patients get the MRI scan done and get their images and reports in the same day through \u201cMotawasel\u201d our patient engagement app,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new VIDA 3T 64 XT MRI system applies fast sequences so examinations can take up to 50% less time. For example, stroke protocol can be done in five minutes giving six fully diagnostic sequences. In addition, the system offers quiet and almost inaudible environment with 30% sharper and higher quality clinical images compared to previous MRI systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new MRI is equipped with BioMatrix artificial intelligence technology that adapts itself automatically to the human anatomical and physiological bio-variations to easily accommodate the pediatric and claustrophobic patients without the need for general anesthesia. This technology will enable us in Dubai to serve patient groups that were previously deemed unsuitable that prevent them from actively supporting the scan,\u201d said Dr Osama El Zamzami, Head of Radiology and Medical Imaging Department at AZHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultrasound imaging is often challenged with unwanted variability and inconsistent results when people of different physiologies and anatomies are examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn an attempt to overcome these challenges, clinicians have traditionally compromised on ultrasound image resolution, or penetration of their ultrasound imaging,\u201d said Dr Abdelghany CEO of AZHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo address this challenge, we are adopting the newly released Acuson Sequoia Ultrasound system by Siemens Healthineers. Sequoia\u2019s new BioAcoustic AI imaging technology sends waves that penetrates tissues as deep as 40 cm without impacting quality compared to 15 cm in the older ultrasound equipment versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows radiologists to examine different patients varying in size with confidence and clarity including obese patients above 150 kgs,\u201d Dr. Abdelghany added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
