Ceylinco Cancer Centre acquires latest Siemens CT Simulator

The Ceylinco Cancer Centre has acquired a state-of-the-art, AI-supported, CT Simulator from Siemens Healthcare GmbH of Germany, significantly enhancing the accuracy of the radiation therapy it offers, as well as the comfort of patients.

A spokesman for the Centre said the acquisition of the CT Simulator entailed an investment of Rs. 200 million, and that this is the only CT Simulator in Sri Lanka’s private healthcare sector that is dedicated exclusively for treatment planning, and would not be used for routine diagnostic scanning.

“With cancer cases expected to surge by 50 percent between 2020 and 2040, radiation treatment centres will see a huge rise in the numberof patients requiring support,” said Ceylinco Healthcare Services Chairman R. Renganathan, which owns the Ceylinco Cancer Centre. 

“This demands innovative solutions that will allow doctors to work more efficiently and lay the foundationsfor the best possible treatments and optimal patient outcomes. Our latest investment is an important step in that direction.”
