This equipment is called Multi Slice CT (Computer Tomography) Scanner. Clinic Waringin Medika at Jl. Jusuf Adiwinata No. 34, Menteng is the first to have it in Indonesia. What it has is a 64-slice CT Scanner, the latest one, compared with a 16-slice CT Scanner that owned by RS Harapan Kita.

A single heart check at the clinic will cost you six million rupiahs, full body check would be fifteen million rupiahs. Very expensive, right? But by using the scanner, a patient doesn’t need to undergo cardiac catheterization to check for arterial blocks. Cardiac catheterization is a risky procedure, it is an operation to put in a thin tube from the groin area, near the thigh. At RS Harapan Kita, a single check is two million rupiahs. I am not sure whether a 16-slice is able to check for arterial blocks.

Technology is expensive, therefore, stay healthy, control your menu and do exercises. Arterial blocks is so scary…
