Body Scans
We have some of the most advanced CT scan machines in the world in our empanneled hospitals. For example, the 64 slice CT Scan available at most of our empanelled hospitals takes 64 slice images of human body while rotating four times per second and the resultant three dimensional images of the body obtained is highly accurate, enabling right analysis and diagnosis. The down time for a complete scan is very small, the entire process taking less than five minutes from the time you walk in through the door. This results in less discomfort for patients and faster diagnostical ability for the doctors. This slice CT scan can possibly replace the need for certain invasive diagnostic tests like angiogram or cardiac catheterization. For example, angiogram, which is an invasive procedure, requires the insertion of a thin tube from the groin area to the heart's arteries. This tube carries dye which is used to produce contrast X-rays. It is a lengthy procedure which takes 30 minutes to 45 minutes to perform and about an hour for recovery. Further, the procedure is very uncomfortable and expensive for the patient. Additionally, angiograms only show a portion of the heart, not the whole heart. In future, the 64 CT Scan will be able to provide more detailed results faster, better, and more accurate without the need of an invasive procedure. These machines are not yet available with all the hospitals as they are very expensive costing between $1.5 and $2 million dollars. DiabetesThis is a disease with no cure and global implications.

Weight ManagementGastric Banding Gastric banding is a restrictive operation. In this, a band made of special material is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, restricting its expansion. It creats a small pouch and only a narrow passage is permitted into the larger remainder of the stomach. BPD(Biliopancreatic Diversion) surgeries, a surgical procedure which is used to treat obesity by removing approximately two-thirds of the stomach. In this, the intestines are re-arranged so that digestive enzymes have less contact with the foodstream, are usually performed by open surgery. Although laparoscopic surgery, in which surgeons insert a small camera and small surgical implements through several small one-inch incisions, can also be used for this surgery, it is far more difficult for executing BPD surgery. Thus, while laparoscopic surgery is generally used for LAP banding, majority of BPD surgeons prefer the open method for gastric banding. The surgery subsequent is the same procedure except that the entry method differs. The “duodenal switch” operation is a variation of BPD surgery. There are two main differences between the BPD and the BPD/DS; one is the part of the stomach that is removed (lower stomach during a BPD and the left section during a BPD/DS) and the second is the presence or absence of the pylorus (the muscular valve that separates the stomach and duodenum). The DS operation leaves the pylorus. In the BPD operation, a horizontally incision is made on the stomach and the lower half is removed. However, during a BPD/DS surgery, the stomach is cut vertically, leaving a tube-shaped stomach to empty into a short duodenum section. Approximately 70 percent of the stomach is removed during a BPD operation, while only 50 percent removed in a BPD/DS. After careful measurement, the small intestine is divided. The duodenum (first section) is divided 3 to 4 inches past the stomach, while the jejunum and ileum (mid and final sections) are divided according to a surgical equation. These divisions will form the alimentary (food passageway) and biliopancreatic limbs (bile and pancreatic juices passageways). The ileum is connected to the stomach. The biliopancreatic limb is connected near the end of the intestine, past the colon. The channel where the 2 limbs combine is the common limb. Common limb length regulates absorption. Instead of an anastomosis, or connection, between the stomach and intestine, the BPD/DS involves a connection between the duodenum and remaining small intestine. The duodenum is cut approximately 2 to 4 centimeters below the stomach. The intestine is connected directly to the end of the duodenum. The other end of the duodenum will carry the bile and pancreatic juices. Food bypasses the final section of the duodenum and upper small intestine, leaving the first part of the duodenum to enter directly into ileum. These surgical divisions are completely reversible, unlike the stomach removal. Biliopancreatic diversion gastric bypass patients will undergo several health assessment tests to minimize any potential risks. Patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery are required to be put on a clear liquid diet before surgery. A germicidal soap is used to wash the abdomen and a colon cleanser is also prescribed. No food or drink is allowed on the day of the surgery. LAP bandingLAP banding is done laparosopically, ie no cutting or stapling of the stomach is carried out. Instead, After placement, a balloon is inflated to make the upper pouch the correct size. This balloon is passed through the mouth and esophagus through a tube. Once the surgeon is satisfied with the pouch size, the band is sutured into place and the tube and balloon are removed. A saline-injection port reservoir is implanted beneath the skin at the side of the body or just below the rib cage. A long tube will connect the port and LAP band. Later, doctors will use the reservoir to inject or remove saline from the band to adjust its size. Incisions are sutured after the carbon dioxide gas is released, and the surgery is complete. Weight Management Vacation
Obesity is a 'silent killer' evryone knows about but finds it difficult to rein in this demon. Obesity increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, and stroke. It is also a 'lfe limiter' as it also restricts movement, decreases sexual drive, and reduces the quality of life. This is what has been exploited by many for years, but with little, and that also temporary success, with pills, medicines and 'magic potions'. However, for a permanent relief with no side effects, only true life style change will work. However, it is easier said than done.

gar (glucose) in the blood system. In the United States alone, diabetese affects nearly 20 million people and the number is only growing. There is no known cure for diabetese, ie the process can not be reserved. However, mild and moderate diabetes can often be controlled by live style changes in diet and exercise, and lower doses of medication. But accepting and implementing these changes can often be real difficult.
However, as said earlier, it is not easy to make these changes. Our

Subsequently, small tubes are inserted to create passages for the surgical instruments. A tiny camera on one tube allows an inside view for LAP band placement.
