Digital X-Ray machines for Coronavirus diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is important in Corona disease. Before the rapid tests, it was diagnosed by an X-ray chest with blood and urine reports and sonography. And even if the rapid test is negative, the chest X-ray is very important for an accurate diagnosis if the patient shows symptoms.

Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel are taking care and guidance to ensure that the state-of-the-art treatment facility of Corona is available in all government institutions. Talking about the SSG hospital there were four simple X-ray machines and it took time to get the report. To resolve this inconvenience, the Officer on Special Duty and Education Secretary Dr. Vinod Rao facilitated digital machines in Sayaji and Gotri hospitals in collaboration with Vadodara Municipal Corporation. With this, the work has become easier and faster.

This digital machine can be connected to doctors’ computers, laptops, tablets, and mobiles, resulting in instant X-ray observation of the patient. Daily X-rays are taken to keep a close eye on the improvement or deterioration of the condition of Corona patients who are in ICU and condition is serious. Since the machine is portable, X-rays can be taken by taking the machine to the bed of critically ill patients.

Another advantage of a digital X-ray is that it can be easily saved on a mobile or computer for future surveillance.
Corona attacks mainly the lungs and X-rays are used to provide continuous updates on the progression of the disease, which indicates the need for accurate treatment and change in treatment.

The state government is consistently facing the challenge of Corona with the efforts of health workers.
