Sir Ganga Ram Hospital

LOGIQ 700 PRO – Dr..DEEPAK CHAWLA

For more than 15 years now, Department of Ultrasound Imaging at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has been doing at an average of 125 cases per day. The Department is headed by Dr. Deepak Chawla along with Dr. Ashok Baijal, Dr. Kavita Sial and Dr. Madhvi Chandra in his team. The enriched experience gives the patients a reassurance of being in the right hands.

The latest addition to the Department has been the high end Colour Doppler imager – LOGIQ 700 PRO from GE Medical Systems Limited. The expertise and the advanced technology have given new ways to the ultrasound imaging. The high-resolution imaging has led to increased productivity with least patient discomfort.

The technique of micron imaging with Automatic Tissue Imaging (ATI), Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI), 3D, Power Angio and matrix probes have revolutionized the small parts imaging. With the kind of resolution offered by the unit picking up smallest of lesions has become very easy.

The unit offers excellent revolution for breast imaging and has increased the pickup rate for small tumours such as intraductual papillomas significantly. It defines the internal echopattern of tumours very well and has helped in a number of difficult diagnosis.

Dr. Deepak Chawla says that guided biopsy of the lesions as small as 0.5cm has become possible with this unit. It has helped in defining small effusions within joints, evaluating tendon trauma and also imaging of soft tissue tumours.

The technique of automatic tissue optimization has helped in immediate optimization of the image with the touch of a key. As demonstrated in this image of Complex Thyroid mass.

Tissue Harmonic Imaging has made scanning of obese patients much easier. It has really helped in evaluation of retroperitoneal masses and deep seated tumours. Cases on penile Doppler and transrectal prostatic biopsies have also been started.

Dr. Deepak Chawla finds the 3D imaging of structures had helped in understanding the clinical anatomy of the subject. Particularly for fetal imaging diagnosis for congenital anomalies such as the Dandy Walker malformation has become much easier with the multislice 3D.
