Some interesting yet disturbing facts about waiting times for medical treatments in Canada:

-Specialist physicians surveyed across 12 specialties and 10 Canadian provinces report a total waiting time of 19.0 weeks between referral from a general practitioner and elective treatment in 2011—the longest total wait time recorded since the Fraser Institute began measuring wait times in 1993.

-Patients in Ontario experience the shortest wait (14.3 weeks) followed by British Columbia (19.3 weeks), and Quebec (19.9 weeks)

-Patients wait longest to undergo plastic surgery (41.6 weeks) and wait least for medical oncology treatment (4.2 weeks)
After an appointment with a specialist, Canadians wait nearly 3 weeks longer than what physicians believe is “reasonable” for elective treatment.

-Throughout the provinces, in 2011 people are waiting for an estimated 941,321 procedures. Assuming that each person waits for only one procedure, 2.8 percent of Canadians are waiting for treatment

-Only 9.4 percent of patients are on waiting lists because they requested a delay or postponement

Tomosynthesis

Tomosynthesis is a new digital mammography technology which is distinctly superior to other methods in breast cancer screening. Tomosynthesis is a 3-dimensional imaging technology whereas a regular mammography produces only a 2-dimensional image. The cross-sectional imaging features makes Tomosynthesis advantageous to standard digital mammography when determining the breast cancer. This method provides a clear illustration of the problematic areas by the three-dimensional presentation obtained by joining thin sections.

- Advantages of Tomosynthesis

-Allows the detection and diagnosis of even the smallest tumors.
-Reduces the possibility to call the patient for a repeat mammography; therefore reducing the dosage of radiation the patient is exposed to.
-Reduces the risk of unnecessary biopsy and surgery.
-Accurately pinpoints the tumour’s location in a 3-dimensionional map.
-Reduces pain by requiring less pressure on the breast during the shot compared to standard methods.

Hair Transplant in Istanbul

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that moves individual hair follicles from a part of the body called the 'donor site' to a bald or balding part of the body known as the 'recipient site'. This technique is used primarily to treat male pattern baldness. It is a minimally invasive procedure where grafts containing hair follicles (that are genetically resistant to balding) are transplanted to the bald scalp.

Success depends on how experienced and competent the operating physician is, which equipment is selected for use, and how cohesive and well-organized the team is. Applications and techniques that have not passed comprehensive clinical trials may have disadvantages for the patient. The only options offered to patients in Istanbul are those that have been thoroughly tested and can provide great results with low risk.

Fue Hair Transplant Method
