AMSTERDAM – To continue to ensure fast, safe and accurate medical imaging, St. Mary’s Healthcare has announced the addition of a second CT scanner.

The second scanner will allow St. Mary’s the ability to schedule even more exams and have less technological “down time.”

Additionally patient anxiety will be reduced by lessening wait times.

For those who have previously had a CT scan, it is important to note that the large bore opening offers a more spacious feeling, while the higher weight capacity of the table offers services to more people. 

Both CT scanners at St. Mary’s are equipped with industry-leading dose-reduction software that does not compromise high quality images.  St. Mary’s is fortunate to be expanding its CT capability and patient access by the addition of this second, state-of-the-art system.
