Jameson Health System Receives State-of-the-Art CT Technology

 

Jameson Hospital has joined the ranks of the country’s premier healthcare providers that offers patients advanced, state-of-the-art CT technology by installing the Aquilion ä 64 from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. 

The Aquilion 64 captures precise images with pristine clarity and speed in as little as one breath hold. Chest exams that once took 20-30 minutes with standard CT scans can now be performed in just 19 seconds, allowing physicians to see internal injuries, cancer, blood clots and disease faster and in greater detail than before.  For trauma patients, the Aquilion 64 may prove to be lifesaving technology by providing faster images of internal injuries.  

Jan e Beight, Director of Imaging Services at Jameson says “The latest CT technology is a benefit to the patient, the physician, and to the Medical Imaging Department.  The patients experience a faster procedure.  The physician is afforded the highest resolution and quality images possible.  And because we can deliver faster exams, our department’s capacity is increased to handle more patients per day.”
