The Symbia Pro.specta is known to produce more comprehensive and detailed imaging brought about by its CT scanner, allowing up to 32 scan slices, resulting in a seamless patient experience. 

“The good thing about this machine is that we don’t only cater to cancer patients; [the Symbia Pro.specta SPECT/CT Scanner] can be used in a variety of different diseases that would be part of [CebuDoc’s] medicine procedures,” said Dr. Athena Charisse Ong, a Nuclear Medicine Physician at Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital. 

Dr. Ong also added that what drove the acquisition of Symbia Pro.specta, besides the on-going demand for its services and the recommendations proposed by various medical research, was the rise of cancer patients.
