 Imaging Services is home to a state-of-the-art 64-slice CT (computed tomography) scanner. It's the fastest and most advanced unit of its kind. The unit combines x-rays and computer technology to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the body in just seconds.
In addition, Imaging Services has PACS, the Picture Archiving and Communication System. PACS is a virtual imaging department allowing all digital images (x-rays) and reports to be accessed by physicians via a personal computer at any time.
The department also provides services in other areas of the hospital, such as Surgery, Emergency Department, and patient rooms.
