 GE Multi-Slice CT Scanner

The LightSpeed VCT Series groundbreaking technology opens the door to new procedures while improving the imaging of existing ones. Improved resolution, reduced acquisitions per study, shorter patient-breath-holds along with the platform's power to routinely support faster coverage with submillimeter resolution, allow more robust and repeatable studies. This is critical in emerging procedures such as Coronary Angiographic studies.

Siemens E. Cam Dual (Nuclear Medicine)

The camera is the latest technology in nuclear medicine, using benign radioactive material to look inside the body.

The dual head camera rotates around the patient and cuts the time the patient is on the table from 45 minutes to 15 minutes. The dual head means imaging of the body can be done at two angles at once. It has excellent image quality.

The table holds up to 400 pounds compared to the previous model that held up to 250 pounds.

A flat screen attached to the camera allows the patient to actually watch the scan in action or watch a DVD if they choose.

The nuclear medicine camera can be used to scan the full body including the bones, head, thyroids, gal bladder, liver, brain, heart and can be used to determine the stages of cancer.

The e.cam enables early detection of disease, reduces patient and medical facility costs and embraces the latest in medical advancements and research, according to Siemens.

Acuson Sequoia C256 (Ultrasound)

The Acuson Sequoia™ C256 Echocardiography System – an image optimization technology that improves sonography workflow and ergonomics and the new 8V3 transducer option for pediatric and fetal echocardiography exams.

This technology enables the ultrasound system's computer to read the signals that are returning from the individual patient and then automatically adjust the parameters while the operator is scanning, so all images are optimized in real-time and the sonographer or physician can scan freely without having to touch the keyboard. There are no gain or depth-gain-compensation control adjustments needed while scanning. The computer is programmed to perform advanced real-time motion analysis in addition to accurately detecting and differentiating noise and artifacts from soft tissue.

The image gain is automatically optimized in the axial and lateral dimensions in real-time, once the transducer touches the patient.

Acuson Sequoia 512 (Ultrasound)

The Acuson Sequoia 512 Ultrasound Echocardiography System is specially designed to help perform radiology, obstetrics, and gynecologic, cardiac, and/or vascular exams. The system displays a two-dimensional image of tissues that lie within the scan plan and because the system displays images in real-time, organs can be observed in motion. Doppler capabilities allow you to monitor the flow of blood through vessels or within the heart.

Siemens 1.5 Tesla Ultra-High Resolution Whole Body Scanner (MRI)

As physician and patient needs have changed over time, traditional open MRI has been challenged to accommodate their requirements, including high-field strength, broader spectrum of applications and more “open” space, in order to address issues related to obesity, claustrophobia, elderly and pediatric patients. Espree offers more room than the traditional MRI and is capable of capturing high-field quality diagnostic images.

All patients deserve the same access to high quality MRI technology, which is used for detection, diagnosis and treatment planning of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, vascular disorders and other diseases associated with obesity. The open MRI systems on the market before today were simply not up to today’s standard in image quality – they only marginally addressed issues related to patient size and discomfort.

 Philips Mammo Diagnostic 3000
(Mammography)


Mammograms are probably the most important tool doctors have to help them diagnose, evaluate, and follow women who've had breast cancer. Safe and highly accurate, a mammogram is an X-ray photograph of the breast. The technique has been in use for about thirty years.

Mammograms don't prevent breast cancer, but they can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. For example, mammograms have been shown to lower the chance of dying from breast cancer by 35% in women over the age of 50; studies suggest for women between 40 and 50 they may lower the chance of dying from breast cancer by 25–35%.

Finding breast cancers early with mammography has also meant that many more women being treated for breast cancer are able to keep their breasts. When caught early, localized cancers can be removed without resorting to breast removal.
