Together with the scientist new found heart quickly confirmed detection technology

According to Canada the Ming Pao reported that after almost 5 years of research, University of Ottawa Heart Research Center (UOHI) of Chinese scientists recently discovered the use of advanced medical imaging technology, you can quickly identify and predict the risk of heart disease in patients with and the probability of death.

While this technology is already in the medical field in occupies a seat of computer tomography imaging technology (ComputedTomography, CT).

In 2006, a 64-slice CT (64-Slice) for the first time at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in enabled, this is also the machine Canada applied to the heart of the first cases in the study.

Over the past few years, more than 2.4 million cases of clinical application of the research center of technicians provide a large number of reliable data, and ultimately help them find the machine fast for heart disease diagnosis and prediction of significant features.

It is understood that in the normal heart Center, patients typically by catheterization (Catheterization), after 45 minutes of process (usually in the Center over 6 hours) before the end of the check.

While the use of 64-slice CT, the entire testing process takes 7 to 10 seconds, and the ability to clearly see the heart caused disease coronary artery calcification, and easily arterial occlusion of the plaque.

UOHI Co-Director BenjaminChow said, the Centre on the purpose of this study is to reduce patient wait times, at the same time as coronary artery disease to find an effective way of testing.

"As soon as possible if we can detect heart risk patients, you can prevent and reduce risk, we officially took advantage of the research and study of heart CT's diagnostic features found in the results. ”
