Scintigraphy radiologist Dr Jeļena Kedrova shares her enthusiasm for the new machine equipped with CZT detectors which reduces CT exposure and also significantly enhances the diagnostic quality of digital imaging, compared to the equipment used previously.
The first myocardial perfusion scintigraphy SPECT/CT scans and exercise tests are being performed today, with evaluations and reports from our new cardiologists Dr Milana Sorokina and Dr Barbara Vitola and our radiology staff. Cardiologists and radiologists work closely as a team; this is the only way to get accurate examination results and determine the most appropriate treatment tactics.
Scintigraphy examinations will be planned, performed and scanning results will be interpreted by an experienced team of nuclear medicine doctors, radiologists, cardiologists, radiologist assistants, physicists and coordinators specialising in the field and boast 15-20 years of practical experience in nuclear medicine: radiologist Dr Jelena Kedrova, cardiologist Dr Milana Sorokina, cardiologist Barbara Vitola, Head of the ARS Nuclear Medicine Clinic, radiologist Dr Marika Kalnina, radiographer Toms Betkers, radiographer Mareks Vilums, radiation safety expert Ainars Aboltins, medical technology director Ugis Zilde, data protection officer Agnis Skuskovniks and other specialists.
