A rural hospital known for delivering complex care beyond the scope of most critical access facilities has taken a major step forward by upgrading its CT scanner. The enhancement effectively doubled the system’s capabilities, allowing staff to provide faster, more advanced diagnostics to their community.
The upgrade moved the facility from a 16-slice scanner to a 32-slice system by double sampling the software. This improvement reduces the time patients need to hold their breath, increasing comfort and minimizing motion artifacts. The expanded capabilities now include CTA work, such as carotid imaging and vascular studies, as well as runoff exams that were previously impossible on the older system.
Browns Medical Imaging provides remote access for troubleshooting and protocol adjustments, ensuring any issues are quickly addressed. The hospital’s technologists know they can count on a fast response from Browns’ experts, giving them confidence in their ability to provide uninterrupted, high-quality imaging.
