The specialty of a 3 Tesla (3T) MRI scanner is its ability to produce highly detailed and high-resolution images of the human body. It uses a stronger magnetic field than traditional MRI scanners, which allows it to produce images with greater clarity and accuracy.

The higher magnetic field strength of the 3T MRI scanner also provides several other advantages over traditional MRI scanners, including:

Faster scanning times: The stronger magnetic field enables the scanner to collect more data in a shorter amount of time, resulting in faster scan times.

Improved signal-to-noise ratio: The 3T MRI scanner produces a stronger signal than traditional MRI scanners, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and enhances image quality.

Better visualization of small structures: The higher resolution of the 3T MRI scanner enables better visualization of small structures, such as blood vessels and nerves, making it useful for diagnostic purposes.

Improved functional imaging: The 3T MRI scanner is also used for functional imaging studies, such as fMRI, which can help to identify areas of the brain that are activated during different tasks or stimuli.

Overall, the specialty of a 3T MRI scanner is its ability to provide highly detailed and accurate images of the human body, making it a valuable tool in diagnostic medicine.

Also, the WIDE BORE in the machine avoids claustrophobia (Open MRI)

A 128-slice CT scanner is a type of computed tomography (CT) scanner that is capable of acquiring up to 128 images per rotation. The significance of this type of scanner lies in its ability to provide highly detailed and accurate images of the human body, allowing for more precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
The advantages of a 128-slice CT scanner include:
Faster scanning times: The 128-slice CT scanner can acquire multiple images in a single rotation, which reduces the time needed for scanning.
Improved image quality: The scanner produces high-resolution images that are clearer and more detailed than those produced by traditional CT scanners.
Reduced radiation exposure: The faster scanning times of the 128-slice CT scanner can reduce radiation exposure, which is especially important for pediatric and high-risk patients.

Interventional neurology is a sub-specialty of neurology at Chettinad Super Speciality Hospital. The interventional neurologist focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and blood vessels of the central nervous system using minimally invasive techniques. The role of interventional neurology in stroke and aneurysms is critical as it offers a range of minimally invasive procedures that can effectively treat these conditions.
In stroke, interventional neurology plays a significant role in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain. One of the most common interventional procedures used in stroke is called mechanical thrombectomy, which involves removing the clot using a small catheter inserted into the blood vessels. This procedure can significantly reduce the damage caused by stroke and improve outcomes for patients.
In aneurysms, interventional neurology plays a crucial role in the treatment of both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a small catheter into the blood vessels and using coils to fill the aneurysm, preventing further rupture. This procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery and has been shown to be effective in treating aneurysms.
Interventional neurology at Chettinad Super Speciality Hospital also offers a range of other procedures for the treatment of conditions such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery stenosis, and spinal cord disorders.

A catheterization laboratory (cath lab) at Chettinad Super Speciality Hospital boasts of more than 20000 cases. It is a specialized medical facility where minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed on the heart, brain, blood vessels, and other organs. The primary use of a cath lab in CARDIOLOGY is to diagnose and treat various cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and heart valve problems. The Cathlab at Chettinad is also equipped with high-end intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) equipment to help break hard atherosclerotic plaques.

Some of the procedures performed in a Cardiac cath lab include:
Angiography:
A procedure in which a contrast dye is injected into the blood vessels to help visualize blockages or other abnormalities in the blood vessels.
Balloon Angioplasty: A procedure in which a small balloon is inserted into a blocked or narrowed blood vessel and inflated to widen the vessel and improve blood flow.
Stent Placement: A procedure in which a small, metal mesh tube is inserted into a blocked or narrowed blood vessel to keep it open.
Ablation: A procedure in which abnormal heart tissue is destroyed using heat or cold energy to treat conditions such as arrhythmias.
Pacemaker and defibrillator implantation: A procedure in which a device is implanted in the chest to help regulate the heart's rhythm.
