HALIFAX REGIONAL PURCHASES IMAGING EQUIPMENT
New CT Provides Unsurpassed Images

 

ROANOKE RAPIDS, NC – (May 5, 2008) – Halifax Regional is taking a leap forward in imaging technology with the purchase of the latest CT scanner.

The installation of the new Siemens Sensation 40 Slice CT scanner represents a $700,000 investment in cutting edge technology for patients at Halifax Regional. The Medical Center is replacing a nine-year old single slice CT. �The CT that we are currently using has served our patients well. It has provided countless images, helping physicians make life saving diagnoses,� said Bill Navarro, Manager of Diagnostic Imaging. �There have been many improvements in the last nine years, and we look forward to offering our patients the latest in advanced imaging technology.�

The new CT will provide several benefits to patients at Halifax Regional:

  • Patients will wait less time for appointments.

  • Procedure times will be significantly shorter, allowing physicians to review the images quicker.

  • Images will have unsurpassed detail and clarity to help physicians make accurate diagnoses.

  • Patients will be exposed to 66 percent less radiation than before, thanks to the new Care Dose software.

  • The advanced technology and software package that Halifax Regional is installing will eventually allow the Imaging Department to add additional types of tests.

Instillation will take about a week. �Barring any problems with the installation process, our CT technologist should be able to start training with the new machine and software by the end of the week,� said Navarro. �We will then be ready to scan the first patients using the new CT starting May 12.�

During installation, a mobile CT scanner located behind the Medical Center will be used.
