The Holly Private Hospital, Buckhurst Hill, has acquired a Canon Aquilion Prime SP 160-slice cardiac CT scanner. Installed to replace an existing 16-slice system, it equips the hospital with the latest cutting-edge technology, including the Vitrea Extend thin-client workstation with cardiac and ColonCAD post-processing.
At the official opening of the scanner, hospital director David Henderson said: We welcome this huge investment in our imaging technology, which demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare. A particularly big thank you goes to Michele Fox, who did a fantastic job in managing the project.
Imaging services manager and Aspen Group radiology lead Michele Fox added: The Aquilion Prime SP scanner provides excellent image quality at the lowest possible radiation dose to the patient, using the latest scanning technology. It allows us to carry out examinations covering all parts of the anatomy, but what’s really exciting is that we can now offer cardiac angiography CT scanning. We are so excited to be able to offer our patients and referrers the most advanced imaging technology in CT scanning and look forward to welcoming even more patients in the coming months.
