Replacing old technology with new, SMS Hospital, Jaipur is bringing a whole new way to look at coronary angiography. With a newly installed 256 Slice Dual Energy CT Scan Machine, patients will no longer have to given ’beta blockers’ to reduce heartbeat. The said machine has cost a whopping ₹12 crore out of the administrations pocket, but it is all for the good of medical care in Jaipur.

First such machine at Jaipur's Government Hospital

With useful features like high speed and accurate testing, this machine is first-of-it’s-kind at the government level hospital.
