Efat (gamma tomograph)

2007: Development of the first Russian Efatom gamma tomograph is complete

By 2007 in St. Petersburg scientists and designers of NIIEFA finished development of the first really Russian computer Efatom gamma tomograph, passed its clinical trials in hospital No. 83 of the city of Moscow. Physicians were with everything satisfied. In seven years of work of Efatom specialists only had to leave to them for small repairs twice, and the Russian software brought physicians into silent delight. Import tomographs issue results of inspection in English, but not this main thing. Data were provided in the option which is strictly 'ground' under insurance medicine.

'Dear patient, based on inspection we report that it is recommended to you to undergo the procedure such cost so much, to apply drugs such cost here so much', etc.

Efat just tells physicians about the revealed dysfunctions detected in this or that body without stories about cost and without recommendations.

Judging by information provided to NIIEFA on NDExpo-2017 without additional investments the institute is ready to make up to 20 Efatomov a year that it is obviously not enough. In the prices of 2013 import tomographs cost from 20 to 30 million rubles, but as much again clinics had to spread for post-warranty service, delivery of replaceable component parts and to that similar procedures. The price is declared by Efat at this time almost twice below than foreign analogs, the accuracy of diagnosing is higher, the dose of radiation of the inspected patients is lower, specialists are ready to react to any breakdowns many times more quickly and other, other, other.
