Hunter 4025 for NLS Diagnosis with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Scanner
Hunter 4025 for NLS Diagnosis with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Scanner
New medical technologies have developed very rapidly over the past few decades. Significant success in the treatment of oncology and oncological blood disorders. Advances in transplantation have increased the chances of recovery for cancer patients. However, the application of cytostatic and immunosuppressive drugs, which ensure the function of the graft, leads to a severe decline in immunity and complications in the form of opportunistic infections. In addition, the risk group for the development of infection included those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), complications following abdominal surgical intervention, severe severe burns, and neonates born prematurely or who received aggressive medical treatment in the first few days of life ( parenteral feeding and extensive antimicrobial therapy). Contributing risk factors for the development of invasive mycosis include intake of broad-spectrum antibiotics for more than two weeks, total parenteral nutrition, continuous artificial lung ventilation, shock, and prior fungal infection.
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is the most severe form of the disease, when the process may spread to other organs (CNS, abdominal parenchyma). The first symptom of invasive fungal infections is usually fever, which is difficult to treat with broad-spectrum antibiotics. In the clinical presentation of acute pneumonia in patients expressing immunosuppression, the absence of results from antimicrobial therapy must be considered as a possibility for the development of IPA. When these clinical manifestations are registered, diagnostic procedures must be completed. The speed and intensity of IPA manifestations depend on the degree of immunosuppression. Signs of IPA are evident after neutropenia, and sometimes the diagnosis of IPA may be based only on biopsy results, but the risk of bleeding complications in patients with hemoblastosis may be one of the barriers to biopsy.
NLS imaging with the Hunter 4025 scanner is more informative than radiography in diagnosing invasive pulmonary mycosis. 80% diagnostic accuracy
The performance of Hunter4025 is really amazing
