It’s a priority at CCH to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to services and technologies. We’ve not only moved our radiology department, we’re greatly expanding it with better, clearer imaging equipment, new treatment approaches, separate waiting rooms for our different services—including a Women’s Health area—and accommodations for bariatric patients.
Almost every type of imaging equipment is brand new, including the CT-scanner, MRI and a 3-D mammogram machine in the near future.
Some exciting additions to Women’s Health services include:
Latest CT Scan
CT scan that’s clearer, faster and accommodates bariatric patients up to 600 pounds.
Digital tomosynthesis/ 3D Mammogram
Advanced, non-compression machine that takes multiple x-rays from several angles to create 3-D images and give a better look at all breast tissue, especially tissue that is more dense, with less radiation to boot. CCH will upgrade as soon as FDA approves it as the standard of care.
Stereotactic biopsy with MAMMOMAT
This intelligent system guides the doctor easily and efficiently through a breast biopsy, and is faster and more accurate.
Watch for the new radiology area to open this month.
