Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a method that uses strong magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to sketch detailed images of the inside of the human body. From the results of the MRI scan, the doctor can make a diagnosis about the patient's health status or response to the treatment regimen. Unlike X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, MRIs do not use the harmful ionizing radiation of X-rays.

MRI is often indicated on different parts of the body such as brain, spine, abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal, etc., and is especially useful in imaging soft tissues and nervous system. It allows detecting any abnormalities at the earliest stage.

In order to meet the increasing needs of patients, as well as to support the medical team, doctors to maximize their professional capacity in examination, diagnosis and treatment, Lam Hoa General Hospital has invested in installing and putting into service the ECHELON SMART 1.5T MRI system from HITACHI - JAPAN.

Besides the investment in infrastructure and equipment, Lam Hoa general hospital also pays attention to human factors. In addition to sending staff to intensive training in the field of Magnetic Resonance at Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi, they also continuously organizes training courses for Clinicians, Paraclinical Doctors and updates the latest medical knowledge.

Overcoming all difficulties due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Lam Hoa General Hospital has made every effort to prepare thoroughly in all aspects to put the MRI room into operation, serving the needs of medical examination and treatment of the people in the best possible way.

Congratulations to Lam Hoa General Hospital and the entire medical staff of the Hospital. It is hoped that putting the Echelon Smart 1.5T MRI system into service will bring into full play their available strengths, contributing to improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment, and reducing costs and treatment time for patients, and at the same time increase the efficiency and responsiveness of the Hospital.
