For patients in rural communities, access to advanced imaging often means hours of travel, added costs, and unnecessary stress. At Artesia General Hospital, leadership knew their aging CT scanner wasn’t meeting patient needs—and too many exams were being sent elsewhere.
With support from Brown’s Medical Imaging, Artesia upgraded to the SCENARIA View 128 CT, a powerful system that keeps advanced imaging local, fast, and reliable.
The hospital’s old scanner couldn’t keep pace with growing patient volumes or modern imaging requirements. For many in the community, that meant leaving Artesia for exams—a burden in both time and expense.
As one technologist put it:
“The need for updated CT was huge.”
The new system isn’t just faster—it’s designed to make life easier for patients and technologists alike. Key benefits include:
Larger, stronger table with higher weight limits for greater accessibility
Automatic centering features, allowing technologists to adjust positioning from the console instead of moving patients manually
Faster throughput, reducing exam times and allowing more patients to be scheduled each day
These features make exams smoother, safer, and more efficient.
With the SCENARIA View 128 CT, Artesia can now keep imaging local. Patients no longer need to travel for scans, saving money, gas, and time.
“It just makes it easier on patients. They don’t have to travel. They don’t have to commute. It’s all here. It’s all local.”
Behind the technology is the partnership. Brown’s Medical Imaging ensured the transition was seamless and service was always within reach.
“Brown’s has been great. They are like, ‘Here’s my number, give me a call.’”
That commitment to support gives rural hospitals the confidence they need to invest in advanced imaging.
For Artesia General, the SCENARIA View 128 CT has transformed imaging. Faster exams, more patients seen per day, and a smoother patient experience all add up to one thing: better healthcare that stays in the community.
