Jameson Hospital Acquires Revolutionary New Ultrasound System-
Dramatically Expanding Diagnostic Imaging Capabilities

            New Castle, PA – Jameson Hospital has recently added a revolutionary ultrasound system with new imaging advancements, which provides excellent image quality and increased diagnostic information for ultrasound exams.  The new ultrasound system from Siemens Medical Solutions Ultrasound Division provides radiologists at Jameson with unsurpassed diagnostic images of anatomy and pathology.

            The new Sequoia ultrasound system features the new Signature II option, supporting advanced imaging technologies, performance and workflow enhancements that provide physicians with unprecedented imaging capabilities.  The new ultrasound system at Jameson also includes Tissue Equalization technology, which at the push of a button, identifies whether the ultrasound echoes are coming from soft tissue or artifacts and immediately sets the brightness and gain in two dimensions for any ultrasound patient.

            “Our new Sequoia ultrasound system with the Tissue Equalization technology is an invaluable tool for obtaining excellent ultrasound images with an abundance of information,” says Dr. Markowitz at Jameson Memorial Hospital.  “We are now able to quickly optimize images on our sickest patients and promptly obtain the diagnostic information we need to help them.

                        Jameson’s new system also includes Native Tissue Harmonic Imaging (NTHI).  NTHI enables clinicians to capture clearer, sharper images that previously were unattainable with a non-invasive exam.

                        Jameson Health System provides a full continuum of care for the residents in Lawrence County. The upgrades to Jameson’s diagnostic capabilities is a demonstration of their commitment to enhance the services they offer to the community.  For additional information, visit our website at www.jamesonhealthsystem.com or call the Medical Imaging Department at 724-656-4127.
