A new 128-slice CT scanner is transforming patient care by keeping advanced imaging services close to home. For rural communities, avoiding the cost, time, and risks of traveling several hours for scans is a major benefit. Now, residents can receive the same high-quality diagnostics without leaving their own community.
The scanner’s wider gantry and weight limit of over 500 pounds ensure that patients of all sizes can be accommodated comfortably. Faster loading and unloading make the process quicker for both patients and staff. With the table’s lateral shift capability, technologists can more accurately center the anatomy, resulting in improved image quality.
This CT delivers faster image reconstruction, allowing trauma cases to be processed and read quickly. Its superior temporal resolution captures even the smallest details—like tiny segmental arteries when checking for pulmonary embolism—by reducing motion blur.
Brown’s Medical Imaging assembled a package that made this advanced system financially accessible for the community, ensuring that no one has to leave town for a CT scan. The result is faster care, better imaging, and improved patient outcomes—all close to home.
