New 128-Slice CT Scanner Brings World-Class Imaging Home

Golden Valley Memorial Hospital is one of the first hospitals in the nation to install a new 128-slice CT scanner. The scanner provides the fastest and highest-resolution imaging available anywhere.
Shorter exam times and precise images mean doctors can diagnose and treat illness and injury right away – rather than wait for slower imaging equipment to transmit lower-quality images.
The 128-slice scanner adds many more comfort features, including a larger opening that gives an open feel, and a wider table that can accommodate patients up to 650 pounds. The radiology unit is being redesigned to create a calming atmosphere. The new CT suite will provide a comfortable atmosphere with soothing colors similar to our stereotactic breast biopsy and digital mammography suite.
