According to experts, this technology will allow experts to get well-defined images of tumors, vascular accidents and cranial-encephalic traumas, among other ailments.

The new equipment will mainly be used by experts in oncology, pneumonology and brain surgery.

In that regard, experts said that computerized axial tomography prevents patients suffering from encephalic traumas from undergoing invasive and painful tests.

In addition, it makes it easier for experts to give an accurate diagnosis of lung cancer and to study other organs to learn if they had been affected by the tumor.

Before the equipment was installed, patients had to travel to the provinces of Holguín or Camagüey.
