Flex Focus 700 ultrasound system
CHW Medical Foundation adds high tech equipment to SJMG specialist office
Few disciplines evolve as quickly as modern medicine. That’s why St. Joseph’s Medical group of Stockton is pleased to be using the Flex Focus 700 Ultrasound System in the office of Peter Tuxen, MD and Robert Yavrouian, MD. These Colon and Rectal Surgeons in Stockton are excited to be the only office in the San Joaquin Valley to have this cutting edge piece of equipment. The Flex Focus 700 is an ultrasound system designed primarily for providing a more accurate visual for staging early rectal cancer.
This ultrasound system has several benefits for patients. One benefit is detecting serious problems earlier. It also helps allow staging of tumors by assessing the depth of invasion in rectal cancer and it also avoids unnecessary radical surgery.
The benefits of this ultrasound system for doctors include:
- Preoperative staging of rectal cancer
- Picture-in-Picture enables simultaneous display of camera and scanner images on a single monitor
- Provides high resolution, 3-D, 360-Degree images of the rectum and anal canal
Dr. Yavrouian joined the established practice of Dr. Tuxen in August of 2010. Dr. Tuxen is one of few board certified colorectal surgeons in the central valley. If you think you need to see a colorectal specialist, contact your primary care physician for a referral.
