Onio a ' New Gamma Camera For Duplin General A sophisticated new medical device has been recently adaed to the diag nostic armamentarium in the radiology department at Duplin General Hospital. The new system. A General Electric MaxiCamera 400A utilizes small doses of radio active isotopes to diagnose a wide variety of diseases. In a typical examination, the patient is given a small amount of a selected radio pharmaceutical which loca lizes in the organ or part of the body under investigation. After an interval of a few seconds to a few days, the patient is placed in front of the machine for taking diag nostic pictures (i.e. images or scans). The diagnostic ability of the system covers a wide spectrum of diseases. Tumors, stroke, blood clots in the lungs, heart attacks, hidden inflammatory disease and traumatic injuries are some of the conditions that may be revealed by the camera. It is a medical fact," ex plains Ahmed Hady Naga, M.D., radiologist at DGH, "that certain tumors, for example, h^ve aitinity for certain isotopes. As a result such isotopes concentrate in these tumors more heavily than in the surrounding healthy tissues." The radioisotope emits gamma rays which are picked up by the gamma camera. A sophisticated computer system, built in the camera, processes these rays and displays them in the form of a picture scan which shows the tumor in contrast with the surrounding healthy tissues. Not all tha tumors nor all the other disease conditions are detected in this way. Some may be displayed in a reverse order. Such lesions do not have affinity to the available iso topes. In these cases, the selected radioisotopes given to the patient concentrate in the healthy tissues of the organ under investigation. The camera picture scan will thus show the healthy tissues in contrast with the diseased part of the organ. "Duplin General Hospital was a tirst among similar size hospitals in providing nuclear medicine service to its patients," said Dr. Naga. In 1973, the facility started with a rectilinear scanner, thyroid uptake system and all the supporting equipment, well ahead of most of the hospitals, larger or smaller, in this region. The hospital Board of Trustees has re cently decided to acquire the gamma camera in response to the urgent request of the medical staff. This camera is the state of the art in technology. It prqvides a wide scope of diagnostic procedures far beyond the ability of the rectilinear scanner it replaced. "Besides the static "still" pictures "images" which the scanner could prqvide, we are now able to perform dynamic imaging to study the function and the blood flow m certain organs," ex plained Dr. Naga. The examinations take shorter time by the camera, ensuring more comfort to the patient. "While this equipment represents a substantial in vestment by Duplin General Hospital," said Kichard E. Harrell, hospital administra tor, "we believe." it will enable our medical staff to examine their patients more thoroughly. We b?ve always striven to provide our pa tients the best possible medical care and this new installation _ is another example of the'se efforts." The camera is manufac tured by the CjE Company's medical systems division in Milwaukee, Wise. It was'in stalled at D(JH by experts front the company's Char lotte office.
