Mee Memorial Healthcare System (MMHS) adds a new advanced state-of-the-art SCENARIA View 128 Computed Tomography(CT) system as part of the MMHS Diagnostic Imaging and Emergency Department renovation project.
"Bringing this new technology to Mee Memorial is about providing the best possible care to our community," said Timothy Watson, MD, director of radiology services in a statement. "This new CT machine allows for both faster and more accurate diagnoses, which is essential to our goal of providing the best care possible for our patients, all while greatly expanding the clinical services and capabilities available for both emergent and non-emergent conditions."
The new CT system represents a major advancement in local diagnostic imaging capability, enabling South County residents to have access to advanced vascular and cardiac imaging services, according to MMHS, which is located in King City.
By utilizing the SCENARIA View’s rapid 0.35-second scan speed and high-resolution, Mee Memorial can now produce incredibly detailed images of the vascular structure in a fraction of the time while helping reduce radiation dose and contrast use.
The new CT system helps evaluate a wide range of conditions including, acute stroke with perfusion assessment; aneurysm identification and characterization; acute arterial blockages, ruptures, or tears; coronary artery angiography and also includes advanced AI-enhanced image reconstruction, and advanced 3D visualization and post-processing capabilities for improved image quality and diagnostic confidence.
