St. Michael Hospital New Procedure Can Detect Disease at Earliest Stage
A revolutionary procedure called coincidence imaging is helping detect problems like cancer, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease earlier than ever. This technology, now available at St. Michael Hospital, is vastly different from other imaging techniques, because it looks inside the cells of the human body and captures three-dimensional pictures. It enables earlier detection of disease when it is at the most curable or controllable stage. In fact, in the case of cancer, it is possible for coincidence imaging to detect cancer cells even before tumors have formed.
People who have been diagnosed with certain cancers, neurological dis-orders or vascular disease can also benefit from coincidence imaging, because it can help determine the effectiveness of current treatment.
This technique is useful in gauging the effectiveness of treatment for neurological disorders or vascular disease and in detecting the reoccurrence of cancer in patients who have completed treatment. For more information, call 414-527-8203.
"Coincidence Imaging" refers to the way the scanners detect energy being emitted from cells. If there are two occur-rences of energy at the same time and place, it isn't just a coincidence.
