Latest imaging tech showcased
The 'latest and greatest' in imaging technology was on display in Santa Maria at Marian Medical Centre's Plaza Diagnostic Imaging Centre, according to the Santa Maria Times.
Comparing the leaps in diagnostic imaging over the past five to 15 years to the jump from analogue TV to high-definition, hospital officials hosted an open house for the public to showcase its advanced low-dose CT scanner and high-definition MRI system, which were installed in late September and early October.
When the Plaza Diagnostic Imaging Centre opened in 2006, it had top-of-the-line equipment, says Vickie Berry, Marian's imaging services director. However, in that short time, imaging resolution has increased by bounds, and the new equipment is the current state-of-the-art. “This is just the next thing,” she says.
