Scan it Correctly at HSC

• HSC is renowned for its quality images & accuracy of interpretation. Other centers that have bought different equipment or even the same equipment have found it difficult to reproduce our results.
• Airlines around the world all use Boeing & Airbus, but we select certain airlines because of its good service, reliability & confidence. Anyone can buy a Ferrari but you need Michael Schumacher to drive the Ferrari for good results. Similarly, you need the software (expert doctors & technicians) to generate good images & interpret them correctly. The hardware CT Scanner only enables the scan to acquire the images.
• Copycat centers (seeing the success & reputation of HSC) think that by buying a scanner, they can produce similar results. Do you want to risk your health & money? HSC acquired the First 16-slice Siemens MSCT in Southeast Asia. Building on this solid base of experience, HSC is also the First in Southeast Asia to upgrade to the Siemens latest CT scanner.

One of the largest numbers of CT coronary angiograms in the world

• HSC medical center has performed more than 11,000 CT coronary angiograms within the last few years (one of the largest series in the world). You can be confident of the best result because of our very experienced team.

Most experienced in CT coronary angiogram versus Invasive Coronary Angiogram correlation

• HSC Medical Center has the latest CT scanner and the latest Flat-panel Cath Lab within the same facility, and this enables us to perform CT coronary angiogram versus invasive coronary angiogram correlation in certain patients. We have more than 2,500 correlation studies (again one of the largest series in the world) enabling us to have a good understanding of both complementary technologies. We are able to offer the appropriate choice of either the CT coronary angiogram or invasive coronary angiogram to the patients, e.g. heavily calcified vessels are better seen with catheter study rather than CT coronary angiogram.

Official Siemens Healthcare Reference Site

• In Year 2011, HSC Medical Center is appointed by Siemens Healthcare as their Reference Site in the ASEAN, Pacific and South Asia region for being a leading partner for latest innovations in medical, cardiac care and other clinical therapies to patients supported by state-of-the-art solutions from Siemens Healthcare. Equipment and system deployed by HSC Medical Center are as follow: MRI Magnetom Aera, DSCT Somatom Definition Flash, Cath Lab Angio Unit Artis Zee Floor, General Xray Multix Top, Ultrasound S2000, Echo Cardiac Ultrasound SC2000, PACS syngo.plaza, Multimodalities Workstation syngo.via, Mammography unit Mammomat 1000, O.T C-Arm Xray Unit Siremobil Compact L and Mobile Xray Unit Mobilett XP Hybrid.

Training Center to Doctors internationally

• HSC medical center has been chosen by Siemens Medical to train doctors & radiographers who have purchased their CT scanners but lack operating experience to generate good quality images & interpret them. We have trained doctors from the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia & China (see International Recognition). Do the copycat centers have any experience & proper training?

Reputation for Quality Service with Confidence in Accuracy of Results

• We have seen many poor quality scans done in other centers with wrong interpretation of results. We repeated the scans and are able to generate good quality images plus our experience in the interpretation enables patients to have confidence in the accuracy of results.

First One-stop Medical, Heart and Preventive Center. Not just a scanning center

• We have the most advanced & comprehensive health screening package at the most reasonable price in the region. We are also a complete One-stop outpatient medical center with medical and heart treatments and endoscopy facilities (gastroscopy & colonoscopy) – all integrated together to provide the best treatment option for the patient in one place.

Value for Money Package & Increasing benefits for our patients

• Since we started in January 2003, our patients know that our packages are value-for-money, we have been constantly upgrading our diagnostic tests with patients' benefit as the highest echelon in our mind (a rarity in today's world of escalating inflation) :
  
  May 2004 provided complimentary breakfast for all diagnostic packages.
  July 2004 added the Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT) to certain diagnostic packages.
  Aug 2004 added Body Composition Analysis to our comprehensive package.
