Ruby General Hospital was inaugurated on 25th April, 1995 and after completing 30 years of dedicated service in Healthcare, Dr. Kamal K Dutta, a United States based NRI doctor has made significant announcements that marked a new chapter in the ongoing mission of providing quality care and service to all segments of society. After a fulfilling journey of three decades, Ruby General Hospital is looking forward to a better and brighter future, while, consistently focusing on expanding and enhancing its services to facilitate and serve the community.
In a groundbreaking development for Eastern India, Ruby Cancer Center, a unit of Ruby General Hospital has already introduced the Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator, Version 3.0 with most user friendly and advanced contouring system and Eclipse version 18 planning system. This is the first of its kind in Eastern India and we have a dedicated CT simulator along with this radiation machine for faster treatment. This technology has revolutionized cancer treatment by providing precise and effective care.
Today, Ruby General Hospital has also officially inaugurated the first Digital PET CT in Kolkata. With unique features and specifications this will reduce the time of PET CT from 30 minutes to 5 minutes with the patient receiving only one – third of the dose of radiation. It will also give enhanced picture clarity. The biggest advantage of Digital PET CT is that it can detect the smallest tumours which are missed by analog PET CT. Tumours around 2.9 mm will be picked up while, the best analog PET CT can pick up tumour sized above 4.3 mm. This will save many lives through early detection and lessen the suffering of patients.
Some of the advantages are as follows :
Superior Image Quality and Lesion Detection
Enhanced Image Contrast
Lower Radiation Dose
Faster Scanning Time
Increased Patient Comfort
More Specific Disease Insights
Easy workflow with AI at every step
Improved Quantitative Accuracy providing more precise and reliable data
Motion management with no external device – Digital Self Gating for resolving the lesions in chest and abdomen
Motion Management for Brain especially for patients with Parkinson and neuro degenerative disorders who tend to move during the scan
Dr. Kamal K Dutta, Chairman and Managing Director, also mentioned about the importance of preventive oncology and how simple cancer screening investigations like Pap Smear, Mammogram, Low Dose CT scan of chest (LDCT), Colonoscopy and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can help in the early detection of cancer.
