DOTmed: Tell us about this purchase. As reported by Mary (Galer) Herschelman of The Journal-News: Hillsboro Area Hospital has a new state-of-the-art MRI machine on-site at the hospital.
"It's been part of our visioning plan," said Imaging Supervisor Trinity Flowers. "We have public visioning sessions to determine our needs for the future. They told us they wanted an MRI in house. It was our goal to provide that within five years, and we met that goal."
Flowers said currently, the hospital offered a mobile MRI unit on a trailer, available two days a week. About a year ago, they began looking for a new machine that would better meet patient needs.
Staff members traveled to Wisconsin, Georgia, Mendota and St. Louis, MO to see a wide variety of machines, including GE, Toshiba, Siemens and Hitatchi, which offered an open model.
"That's what patients wanted, something that wasn't so closed in and tight" Flowers said.
DOTmed: Any final thoughts? "This type of environment will put the patient more at ease and offer a lot more resolution with the images," Sikorski said.
