Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in Bogalusa, La. has installed the AquilionTM PRIME CT system from Canon Medical Systems. Aquilion PRIME provides faster exams at as low as reasonably achievable doses, while producing high-quality images required for accurate diagnoses.
“The speed of the Aquilion PRIME enables our clinicians to obtain critical patient information for enhanced diagnoses faster than before,” explained Andrew Stone, MD, radiologist, Our Lady of the Angels Hospital. “The design of the Aquilion PRIME allows us to successfully image a range of patients, from pediatric to bariatric, to further improve patient safety and comfort in our community.”
The Aquilion PRIME’s large bore opening offers a more spacious feeling for patients, while a higher table weight limit expands the range of patients who can be imaged. In addition, the Aquilion PRIME comes standard with industry-leading dose-reduction software.
