1. World-Class Medicine: Technology You Can Trust

Vietnam's top international hospitals have invested heavily in the latest platforms from Siemens, Philips, Varian, and Intuitive Surgical—the same names you trust back home. Here’s a look at the state-of-the-art technology available for your treatment as of mid-2025.

• Advanced Diagnostic Imaging: The Foundation of Your Care
• AI-Powered CT Scanning: Your journey begins with ultimate clarity. Tam Anh Hospital features the Siemens Somatom Force VB30, an AI-integrated dual-source CT scanner. It’s a marvel of engineering, capable of generating over 100,000 slices a full-body scan in under two seconds with a radiation dose up to 90% lower than standard systems.
• 3.0 Tesla MRI: This remains the gold standard for high-resolution clinical diagnostics, providing exceptionally detailed images crucial for neurological and oncological cases. While 7.0T MRI exists globally for hyper-specialized research, 3.0T is the pinnacle of technology for patient care available in Vietnam.
• Digital PET/CT: For cancer staging, Vietnam's leading hospitals use advanced Digital PET/CT systems like the Discovery IQ Gen 2, which offer superior sensitivity in detecting tiny lesions compared to older analog systems.
• Robotic Surgery: Precision and Faster Recovery
• The Da Vinci Xi system is the platform of choice for complex minimally invasive surgery. Its wristed instruments and 3D-HD vision allow surgeons to perform delicate procedures with greater precision, leading to less pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to your vacation. Globally, the newest platform is the Da Vinci 5, and Vietnam's adoption of the top-tier Xi demonstrates its commitment to the forefront of medical tech.
• The Apex of Cancer Treatment:
• Advanced Radiotherapy: Vietnam offers a suite of advanced linear accelerators like the Varian TrueBeam STx, enabling powerful, non-invasive "bladeless surgery" (SRS/SBRT) that targets tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy.
• Gamma Knife: The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion provides a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for brain tumors. The newest global model is the Esprit, and the presence of the Perfexion model ensures access to world-class radiosurgery.
• Personalized Medicine with Next-Generation Sequencing:
• Vietnam is equipped with the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus, the world’s most powerful commercial gene sequencing platform. This technology is the key to personalized medicine, allowing doctors to tailor cancer treatments to your unique genetic profile for maximum effectiveness.
