New CT equipment comes on-line at the hospital

Boundary Community Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Department installed a new Siemens Definition AS 64 Computerized Tomography (CT) Scanner. With 64 Slice technology, our Radiologic Technologists can obtain better, finer images for more accurate diagnoses in less time on the most stable, reliable and state of the art system in our local area. Siemens SAFIRE technology allows for a significantly decreased radiation dose without sacrificing image quality. This is a great leap forward in radiation protection for our family and neighbors. The larger gantry opening and wider table allow for a much less constricting examination. All of the Radiologic Technologists at the hospital have upgraded their certifications so they can operate the new equipment.
