New CT scanner up and running at Brightshores Owen Sound Hospital
A new CT scanner is officially up and running at Brightshores Owen Sound Hospital. It began service earlier in the week and will slowly build up to 100 per cent capacity. 'This investment in advanced diagnostic technology is an important step in enhancing the care we provide,' said Ann Ford, president and CEO of Brightshores. 'The new CT scanner will allow us to serve patients across Grey-Bruce more quickly and with even greater precision. We are grateful to our patients and families for their patience and support during the transition to replace the former scanner and bring this one to full capacity.' Brightshores said more than 16,000 scans are done annually with the CT scanner. 'Medical imaging is often a crucial component in developing care plans for patients,' said Kathy Beattie, director of medical imaging and cardiology. 'The new CT scanner enhances the image quality while decreasing the radiation exposure to patients, contributing to a more patient-centered care experience.'
