9. The relentless pursuit of one visionary, gave hundreds of end-stage patients in
India a new reason to hope. Dr. K. Ravindranath, renowned Surgical
Gastroenterologist, Chairman and Managing Director of Global Hospitals
Group, is the man whose lofty dream brought Liver transplantation to India.
While working in some of UK's top medical institutions, Dr. K. Ravindranath
realized the urgent need for a Liver transplant facility in India. Back then, Liver
transplants for Indians meant travelling to countries like UK and spending huge
amounts of time and money. He was deeply touched when he saw the plight of
hundreds of patients with terminal Liver diseases who endured all odds in
Britain in hope of finding a donor. Thus, he bid goodbye to a highly lucrative
career abroad and returned to India to set up India's first dedicated multi-organ
transplant facility in Hyderabad in 1998. And ever since, thousands of people
have found more to life with Global Hospitals’ path-breaking surgeries.
Today, with India's largest multi-organ transplant centre, and a blazing
presence in other cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai, it is fast
becoming the most trusted name in multi-super specialty healthcare services
in South East Asia.
In terms of services, medical expertise and technology, Global Hospitals
stands at the forefront.

Cranioplasty - Rapid prototyping (RP) is a term that
has been used to describe the production of solid
models from 3D computer data by a group of
relatively new technologies. Using an additive
approach to building shapes, RP systems join
liquids, powder or sheet materials to form physical
objects layer by layer. Rapid prototyping is now
widely applied in the medical field showing
significant benefits in Maxillo facial reconstruction,
skull plasties, orthodontic surgery, pelvic fractures
and many more. The most exciting case in which
RP technology was used in the recent past was in
planning the successful separation of conjoint
twins (Siamese twins) by using the RP model of the
twins’ brain and their venous structures.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging
methodology.
A specially designed catheter with a miniaturized
ultrasound probe attached to the distal end of the
catheter
The proximal end of the catheter is attached to
computerized ultrasound equipment
It allows the application of ultrasound technology to
see from inside blood vessels out through the
surrounding blood column, visualizing the
endothelium (inner wall) of blood vessels in living
individuals
This is the most scientific and judicious approach of
treatment by which unnecessary treatments can be
avoided

42. Bettering lives with the best technology
PET Scan
Global Hospitals is one of the first hospitals in India to
have PET-CT Scan equipment. Positron Emission
Tomography is a power diagnostic test which has
made a powerful impact in the field of diagnosis and
treatment of diseases.
It can detect and stage more cancers, often even
before they are evident through other tests
Helps in acute monitoring of effects of therapy
Gives the physician important early information
about heart diseases and many neurological
diseases like Alzheimer's Disease
u
u
u
Clinical Applications of PET-CT
Early detection of cancer
Staging, assessing treatment response
Active management of cancers
PET-CT can also help for planning radiation therapy
u
u
u
u
Cardiology
PET-CT is also instrumental in detecting myocardial
viability which is useful while taking decisions about
bypass/angioplasty procedures.
Neurology
To localize seizure focus prior to surgery
Early diagnosis of dementias when AD is
questionable
To differentiate Alzheimer's disease from other
dementias
To differentiate tumor recurrence from tumor
necrosis

43. Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine
Recognizing the unique behaviour of stem cells and
their capability to become effective regenerative
medicine, Global Hospitals has established a strong
team of dedicated professionals, who have started
serious work on the isolation of adult stem cells from
human bone marrow. With the encouraging results
that have been achieved, Global Hospitals Stem Cell
Research aims to change the face of human disease
and alleviate suffering.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI), is primarily a
medical imaging technique most commonly used in
Radiology to visualize detailed internal structure and
limited functions of the body. MRI provides much
greater contrast between the different soft tissues of
39
the body. Usually the signal generated is manipulated
by additional magnetic fields to build up enough
information to construct an image of the body.
Therefore, it's safe and gives a clearer image.
TrueBeam™ STx
TrueBeam™ STx is admittedly the world's most
advanced Linear Accelerator (LINAC) for radiotherapy
which has the unique capability to protect normal cells
and tissues from radiation. Asia Pacific's first
TrueBeam™ STx machine was installed at Global
Cancer Institute at Bangalore and later at Chennai.
TrueBeam™ STx gives radiation dosage with
exceptional precision targeting cancer cells even in
moving organs, like the lungs and the liver.
TrueBeam™ STx delivers fast, precise and accurate
treatments, it is 2-4 times faster than most other radio
therapy machines. Thus giving patients a more
improved experience.
