Our hospital was important in making Georgetown a self-sufficient town and as such I feel it is important for us to help keep the facil- ity up-to-date for our doctors and staff, as well as all of the patients who come to Georgetown Hospital for care." In recognition of this contribution, the CT scanner will be housed in the Marg and Fred Helson CT Scanner Suite, which is located immediately adjacent to the new Emergency Department- ensuring easy ac- cess for Emergency staff and physicians. CT scanning, sometimes called CAT scanning, is a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. A CT scanner com- bines special X-ray equipment with so- phisticated computers to produce mul- tiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. These crosssectional images can then be examined on a computer monitor or printed. CT scans of internal organs, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels pro- vide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular X-ray exams. "The CT at Georgetown Hospital is one of the best there is. It is advanced medicine. The scanning technology is fast enough to image the beating heart with clarity. It can image the whole body in sec- onds and reproduce these images in three dimensions. There are multiple features that improve patient comfort and safety. Most importantly, the CT does all this while reducing radiation dose," explained Dr. Robert Yu, HHS Chief of Diagnostic Imaging. Georgetown Hospital's new Siemens Somotom Definition AS+ 128 Slice CT scanner arrived on Nov. 7. For more information about George- town Hospital, please visit www.halton- healthcare.com.
