Abstract
This paper seeks to investigate the needs of service, innovative Mobile Computed Tomography (CT) Scan service, from the leading level of Neurosurgeon in Bangkok, Thailand. The research is proposed investigating Neurosurgeon’s expectations for Mobile CT Scan and current problems of CT scan operating. This is a survey research approach, performing in-depth interview which collected data from 21 Neurosurgeons, 12 hospitals in Bangkok and surrounding areas. Due to the number of samples limited, the descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The research address two research questions: According to the first research question, the authors’ findings that most of Neurosurgeon need to use Mobile CT Scan at Operation Room (OR), Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and Emergency Room (ER), respectively. Regarding the second research question, the authors’ analysis reveals purposes and found the current problems that when Neurosurgeon use CT Scan they faced low resolution and slice, moving unstable patients, wriggle patients, and Claustrophobia patients. Therefore, what are the findings of the survey are very useful in the design of new services for Mobile CT Scan to work in the next step.
Highlights
Medical science has made great progress on surgery to correct a defect in the skull, face and jaws as well as in Surgery, Orthopaedic and Dental
They use rapid prototyping technology which consist of Computed Tomography (CT) and Medical imaging to make 3D medical model for diagnosis and treatment plan prior to surgery along with design and build implant materials by using basic medical imaging
This research is a study of demand of innovative services On a Computed Tomography scan, so the literature review were necessary to study on current problems and theory that associated with the use CT scan today
Summary
Medical science has made great progress on surgery to correct a defect in the skull, face and jaws as well as in Surgery, Orthopaedic and Dental They use rapid prototyping technology which consist of Computed Tomography (CT) and Medical imaging to make 3D medical model for diagnosis and treatment plan prior to surgery along with design and build implant materials by using basic medical imaging. Compared to the old tricks, Neurosurgeon use only basic medical imaging for surgery plan and implant forged by hand in the operation room after wound opened, its shown that 3D rapid prototyping technology increase the quality and safety of the surgery treatment substantially It reduce surgery time and risk that occurred in patients which improves quality of Thai patients’ life and bring the life as usual to them. In 2011 in the Netherlands, it can shorten the waiting time for surgery shortened to no more than 5 weeks, so today government does not have to care about controlling the period of waiting longer, but to turn to the subject of price competition in the provision of hospital services in line with the state health insurance for future development plans.
