SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOGOvercome Issues And Speed Up The Radiation Public Health Emergency Process Through Nuclear Imaging Van
Our Nuclear Van Coach or Trailer is an excellent choice for the medical specialist or medical doctor who wants his or her practice on wheels that can go places where medical services are very much needed. A Nuclear Van is equipped with nuclear imaging systems like Siemens e cam, Symbia E, or Toshiba t.com. These x-ray systems are efficient and medically safe to use in small spaces. Your Van, coach or Trailer is also equipped with Nuclear Scans which provide medical diagnostic answers for treatment of your patients. The efficiency of our Vans, Coaches and Trailers will and can provide medical services to major metropolises, rural and underserved areas. There are practical, medically sound reasons to invest in a Mobile Medical Nuclear Van that by the way can be refurbished to reduce cost, and the unit is custom built to your own specifications.
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate clothing, body tissue and internal organs. X-ray machine sends this radiation through the body to create an image. Because of their effectiveness, use of medical X-rays in the early 1980’s made up about 11 percent of all the radiation exposures to the U.S. population which in subsequent years accounted for 35 percent of all the medical X-Rays radiation exposures in the country. Nuclear medicine procedures, which use radioactive material to create images of the body are also utilized by the emergency medical providers to speed up the diagnosis which helps to reduce overcrowding in the limited emergency facilities and providers. Radiation dose per person from medical X-rays has increased almost 500 percent since the 1980’s. Nearly half of all medical X-ray exposures today come from CT (computed tomography).
Authorized users for a Nuclear Van have the following special responsibilities.
A. Evaluate patients to determine if a radiation procedure is necessary.
B. Prescribe the radiation dose and how to administer it.
C. Specify use of any by-product material as necessary.
D. Perform diagnostic procedure.
A new Mobile Nuclear Imaging Van (NIV) can be a very expensive venture, yet a refurbished NIV can be acquired at almost half the price of the new van to provide the nuclear imaging services. Our imaging van is equipped with Siemens e-cam Gamma Camera and Philips Forte Nuclear Imaging System or equivalent system. The Philips is one of the most widely installed and utilized system in the world. The Siemens e-Cam, also rebranded Siemens Symbia E as well as Toshiba t.com and other systems available in the global market can be used for installation in a Mobile Nuclear Imaging Van. Due to space constraints in the mobile nuclear van environment and transportation issues, the Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is ideal for the mobile systems.
Nuclear scans such as radioisotope and radionuclide scans can help diagnose cancers, injuries, infections and reveal how the heart and lungs are functioning. nuclear medicine imaging procedures are the preferred choice of emergency rooms at hospitals because it can offer potential to identify disease in its earliest stages. Nuclear scans also overcome issues and speed up the radiation emergency process which allows the medical institutions to treat more patients.
The mobile nuclear imaging van, coach or trailer can be completely self-contained transporting state-of-the are technology with a specialist provider on board who are able to perform complex diagnostic and surgical procedures with it. The van/trailer can be custom built to accommodate specific services required, preferences, expectations and location of the targeted population. Major metropolises, rural, underserved and remote area populations can be serviced globally and possibly compliment the conventional medical institutes like the urgent care and hospital emergency room professionals. Globally over the decades, mobile health screening units have been used for education, counselling, mass screening, diagnostics and direct-care service.
The cost of the medical high tech technology has spiraled upwards contributing to the expanded use of the mobile health units such as vans, coaches and trailers.
