Скачать или смотреть Wainwright Health Centre improves access to diagnostic testing with new full-body CT scanner

Wainwright and area residents are now benefitting from new advanced diagnostic imaging in their community. Thanks to local fundraising, led by the Wainwright CT Scanner Fundraising Committee, a new full-body CT scanner at the Wainwright Health Centre is providing patients with a greater range of diagnostic tests close to home.

The committee and community raised $2.2 million through fundraisers including cookie and lemonade sales, a golf tournament and an auction. As well, they received close to 3,000 individual donations.

The Wainwright Health Centre’s new full-body CT scanner is a diagnostic imaging tool that expands the range of CT procedures available in the community, including 3D reconstruction and enhanced stroke detection technology. As a primary stroke centre, the Wainwright Health Centre previously used a portable CT scanner that was limited to head scans.
