Training on new ultrasound techniques in diagnosis of cirrhosis at Van Hanh General Hospital

For two consecutive days, the doctors were trained, transferred technology to apply ARFI quantitative elastic tissue elastic ultrasound technique in liver pathology and semi-quantitative elastic tissue elastic ultrasound technique in thyroid and breast.

According to Dr. Le Thanh Liem - Head of Training Department, Medic Hoa Hao Medical Diagnostic Center (Ho Chi Minh City), one of the achievements of image diagnosis industry is ARFI technology using negative radiation impulse. developed to a generation called "virtual touch" (virtual touch technology). Thereby allowing to distinguish benign tumors from malignancy in diseases of the liver, thyroid, breast and testes with higher efficiency. The application of elastic tissue ultrasound at the hospital will suggest clinicians to offer effective treatment for patients. Tissue elastic ultrasound is an objective, accurate, non-invasive, painless technique that does not limit age, gender and especially for pregnant women.

In addition, the doctors were instructed to practice the ARFI quantitative elastic tissue elastic ultrasound technique to assess the level of liver fibrosis on Siemens advanced Acuson Juniper ultrasound system that Van Hanh General Hospital has just equipped. suffered earlier this year.
