Brachytherapy
An essential component of radiation treatment
Internal and external cancer treatment
Brachytherapy: What is it?
Numerous cancer types can be treated with brachytherapy, a type of radiation therapy. When used to treat prostate cancer, brachytherapy is sometimes referred to as internal radiation therapy or seed therapy.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Precision, non-invasive technology for individualized treatment
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a noninvasive treatment that treats brain illnesses such tumors, AVM, and certain functional abnormalities by using ultraprecise radiation delivery techniques. It is sometimes referred to as stereotactic ablative radiation treatment (SABR) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) when it is used to treat non-brain regions.
Immobilization Devices
You can remain in the same posture during all of your radiation treatments with the assistance of immobilization equipment. Most patients will need to employ at least one of the universal and customized devices for therapy. The part of your body being treated and your treatment plan will determine which type is employed.
Immobilization devices are tools that keep a body part in a fixed position for medical treatments. They are used in a variety of settings, including radiation therapy, medical imaging, and injury treatment.
Types of immobilization devices
- Masks and headrests: Used for treating the head, neck, and upper spine
- Breast boards: Use gravity to position the breast for treatment
- Molds, casts, and vac-lok bags: Used to keep a patient in the same position each day
- Cervical collars: Support the neck and shoulders
Dosimetry Equipment
Devices like dosimeters are used to measure the amount of ionizing radiation that a person is exposed to; in essence, they track their radiation dose by detecting and recording the absorbed radiation energy. Dosimetry equipment is an essential tool for people who work in environments where radiation exposure is a concern, such as nuclear power plant workers or medical professionals in radiology.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body.
How it works
- A transducer (probe) is placed on the skin or inside the body
- A thin layer of gel is applied to the skin
- The transducer sends sound waves into the body
- The sound waves bounce off body structures and return to the transducer
- The transducer uses the sound waves to create an image
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging is a range of techniques that use technology to create pictures of the inside of the body. Doctors use these images to diagnose, monitor, and treat medical conditions.
Types of diagnostic imaging
- X-rays: A common imaging technique that can be used to image bones
- CT scans: Also known as “cat scans”, these combine X-ray scans to create cross-sectional images
- MRI scans: Uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create images of internal structures
- Ultrasound: Can be used to image soft tissues and blood vessels
- Mammograms: A type of X-ray used to check for breast cancer
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scans: A type of imaging that can be used to image the body
Life Care Solutions
The term “Life Care Solutions” describes medical goods and equipment designed to assist individuals in managing chronic health conditions. These typically include of anesthetic systems, ventilator systems, patient monitors, solutions for diagnostic cardiology, care for mothers and infants, and Centricity solutions These gadgets are used to treat patients around-the-clock.
Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD)
A Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) is a hospital department that sterilizes medical supplies, instruments, and equipment. The CSSD also manages the sterility of these items until they are used to treat patients.
CSSD functions
- Collect used instruments from various hospital departments
- Clean and decontaminate instruments
- Sterilize instruments using steam or gas
- Distribute sterilized instruments to hospital departments
- Monitor sterile items for quality assurance and infection control
Hospital Laundry Eqquipment
Hospital laundry equipment includes washing machines, dryers, irons, and chemicals that clean and disinfect hospital linens.
Washing machines
- Barrier washing machines: These machines have a physical barrier that separates dirty and clean clothes.
- Tunnel washers: These large machines have soiled linens placed in one end of a long tunnel and moved through the washer by an Archimedes screw.
Dryers
- Washer extractors: These machines can reduce drying time and power usage.
Chemicals
- Chemicals injectors: These machines can detect stains from blood or other liquids
Blood Bag
A blood bag is a sterile, disposable plastic container that stores and transports blood and blood components. Blood bags are used to collect, process, and distribute blood for transfusion.
How blood bags are used
- Collection: Blood bags are used to collect blood from donors.
- Separation: Blood bags can separate blood into components like red cells, plasma, and platelets.
- Storage: Blood bags can store blood components at different temperatures.
- Transfusion: Blood bags can be used to transfuse blood components into patients.
Hospital Furniture
Hospital furniture includes a variety of pieces designed to meet the needs of patients and healthcare providers. It’s a vital part of any healthcare facility, helping to ensure patient safety and comfort.
Common types of hospital furniture
- Hospital beds: Adjustable beds with features like height adjustment, tilting mechanisms, and side rails
- Bedside cabinets: Compact storage units for patients’ personal items
- Overbed tables: Mobile surfaces that slide over the patient’s bed
- Examination tables: Stable surfaces for medical evaluations
- Stretchers and trolleys: Used for transporting patients
