Gachon University Gil Medical Center
Multidisciplinary hospital
Gachon University Gil Medical Center is in the TOP-3 research clinics in South Korea. In the diagnosis of cancer, the IBM Watson computer system (IBM Watson) is used here. Such a program is available only in 30 hospitals in the world.
What is IBM Watson for oncology?
IBM has developed artificial intelligence (AI) software to help diagnose and treat cancer. After physicians enter patient information into the system, Watson offers the treatment with the highest success rate based on an impressive database of over 300 medical journals and professional literature, over 200 academic literature, and over 15 million medical records. medical resource text pages. As you know, dissertations on oncology published in the world are periodically updated and doctors cannot check all the data. And Watson for oncology can improve cure rates based on the latest medical information and foreign data.
Gachon Medical University Gil Hospital opened its doors in 1958 as the Lee Gil Yeo Gynecological Clinic and strictly followed the principles of "philanthropy, service to society and patriotism." The Gil Hospital of Gachon Medical University was the first in Korea to install an Order Communication System (OCS) in 1987, which contributed to the successful construction of the Ubiquitous-Hospital. Gil Hospital of Gachon Medical University has several specialized centers such as Cancer Center, Gynecology Center, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology Center, Emergency Center and Dental Center. The main building of the hospital was opened in 1987, and the recently opened Gachon Brain Health Center is Korea's first institution of its kind specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases. The center has the most advanced equipment - 3.0T MRI, digital Angio, Dual Source CT, PET-CT, and digital mammography. Under the goal of "activities focused on research and improving patient satisfaction", adheres to:

Under the goal of "activities focused on research and improving patient satisfaction", adheres to:
- Narrow specialization and differentiation of treatment through specialized centers
- Creation of a system focused on the individual needs of patients
- Creation of an integrated R&D scheme (education-industry-science)
- Convenience for patients in receiving medical services
- Education of creative personnel of international level

CT scan (CT)
Computed tomography is a type of study that allows you to get a layered image of the anatomical state of soft tissues using x-rays with image visualization on a computer monitor. CT can determine whether a lesion is malignant or benign, characteristics of the lesion, exact location, presence of metastasis to organs (liver, lungs and lymph nodes), screening for primary cancer, and is also used to evaluate the central nervous system of the head, neck, lungs, organs abdominal cavity.
Magnetic resonance imaging
The MRI method is based on the features of the interaction of the magnetic field and the magnetic properties of human body tissues, and allows obtaining a layered image in the sagittal and transversal planes. MRI scanning is effective in assessing the malignancy or benignity of tumors, determining the stage or presence of metastasis, to assess the condition of tissues and organs, the brain and spinal cord, breast, musculoskeletal system, abdominal organs, but is not suitable for examining moving organs, such as lungs, stomach or intestines.
Positron emission tomography (PET)
The PET test is a diagnostic method that shows the presence and spread of cancer using tomography and three-dimensional images of metabolic changes in tumor cells. This method is very effective for suspected metastasis, but the difficulties of using other research methods.
Novalis Tx
The world's best, multifunctional linear accelerator NOVALIS TX, including CyberKnife, Tomotherapy and Rapid Arc functions for oncology treatment. Novalis Tx is a powerful radiosurgical system that features all the latest radiotherapy technologies such as: IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy), IGRT (Image Guided Radiation Therapy), VMAT (Volume Modulated Arc Therapy), SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) and others, which allows for high-precision treatment of oncology.
Clinac iX
Clinac iX is a modern high-tech equipment for the treatment of oncology, equipped with 3D-CRT (three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy) and IMRT (intensely modulated radiation therapy) functions, which ensures precise dosed radiation, affecting only tumor cells without damaging healthy tissues.
RapidArc
This equipment is very effective in radiotherapy, as it can focus radiation on tumor tissue with minimal treatment time, using Gated RapidArc technology, which provides optimal exposure to the tumor, taking into account the movement of breathing. Rotating 360 degrees around the patient and adjusting the dose and area of radiation, in real time, it most effectively affects the tumor and minimizes the effect on healthy tissues.
