As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, Star Médica Mérida reaffirms its dedication to excellence in medical care by incorporating the new Siemens Luminos dRF Max fluoroscopy system into its technological infrastructure. Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that allows real-time visualization of the interior of the body using X-rays. Unlike traditional radiography, which captures a single static image, fluoroscopy functions as a continuous X-ray “video”.
The Siemens Luminos dRF Max fluoroscopy system offers several advantages:
- Improved efficiency: A dual system that combines fluoroscopy and radiography in one unit, optimizing use and improving return on investment.
- Crystal-clear images: Features a 43 cm x 43 cm dynamic detector providing excellent coverage with sharp, accurate imaging.
- Reduced radiation exposure: Incorporates CARE technology and advanced image processing to minimize radiation doses for patients and medical staff.
- Enhanced safety: Includes an adjustable-height table and SmartTouch functionality for easier and safer operation.
- Flexibility: Supports a wide range of patients, from small children to adults of all sizes, and delivers both static and dynamic high-quality images.
- Workflow efficiency: Includes features like MAXalign to capture the correct image on the first try, boosting productivity and reducing the need for repeat procedures.
This cutting-edge system, known for its technological innovation and image quality, marks a significant step toward the continuous improvement of hospital services at Star Médica Mérida, enabling more precise diagnoses.
The acquisition of this system is the result of the strategic vision of Grupo Star Médica and Mr. Hugo Herbert Boehm Calero, who continuously promotes technological upgrades and operational excellence.
Irving Güemez, Head of Biomedical Engineering, emphasized the significance of this investment: "The implementation of the Siemens Luminos dRF Max fluoroscope not only modernizes our diagnostic capabilities, but also ensures greater safety and comfort for our patients. This equipment is a clear demonstration of the hospital’s commitment to excellence and quality care. Moreover, it will allow us to expand our diagnostic portfolio, including procedures such as esophagography, thereby providing a more comprehensive and specialized service."
A variety of specialists use fluoroscopy, including:
- Radiologists: Diagnose and treat various conditions, such as gastrointestinal or cardiovascular issues.
- Cardiologists: Perform procedures like cardiac catheterization and coronary stent placement.
- Orthopedic surgeons: Use it for procedures like fracture repairs or joint prosthesis placements.
- Gastroenterologists: Examine the gastrointestinal tract and diagnose conditions such as ulcers or tumors.
- Interventional Medicine Specialists: Conduct minimally invasive procedures such as catheter or stent placements in blood vessels.
- Gynecologists: Use it for procedures like hysterosalpingography to assess the shape and function of female reproductive organs.
These medical professionals rely on fluoroscopy to obtain real-time images of the human body, allowing for more accurate and safer diagnosis and treatment.
This advancement also strengthens the team of healthcare professionals at Star Médica Mérida, equipping them with a cutting-edge tool to deliver more timely and accurate diagnoses. This not only improves clinical outcomes but also contributes to the overall well-being of patients.
The entire team at Star Médica Mérida is dedicated to delivering outstanding hospital services, supported by state-of-the-art technology and a highly skilled human team. The addition of the Siemens Luminos dRF Max is a testament to the hospital's ongoing pursuit of excellence and leadership in the healthcare sector.
With this step, Star Médica Mérida reaffirms its commitment to being a benchmark in hospital care in México, reinforcing the trust of patients and the medical community.
