Physicians are able to diagnose stroke, heart abnormalities and other diseases within seconds using CT.
The new CT scanner is housed within the emergency department of the hospital to quickly diagnose potentially life-threatening emergencies such as stroke and heart attack.
Added capabilities include cardiac scoring, which gives physicians a window into the heart, and assessing the levels of calcium buildup in the arteries, which may be an early sign of heart disease.
The hospital bought the new equipment with support from the Novant Health Foundation Rowan Medical Center.
A ribbon cutting and open house was held Tuesday to celebrate the new technology, giving attendees the chance to see the scanner up close and personal.
DOTmed: Why was the winner vendor chosen? The Siemens Somatom Definition AS Scanner, a 128 slice computed tomography scanner, offers patients faster scan times, lower radiation doses and more comfort when undergoing exams.
