Safer, Faster and More Comfortable
Safer, faster and more comfortable procedures using state-of-the-art equipment:
Mobile C-Arm scanner: The c-arm is used during vascular surgery, providing superior imaging in procedures ranging from abdominal aortic aneurysm repair to revascularization in legs. In certain cases, before this system, patients would have to endure invasive procedures and face a lengthy hospital stay to recover. With this imaging system, those patients can undergo non-invasive procedures, dramatically decreasing pain, recovery time and length of stay in the hospital.
"Step-and-Shoot" Computed Tomography (CT) scanner: This CT scanner reduces radiation exposure by up to 80 percent, and offers increased speed, accuracy, and patient comfort. Within seconds, an entire high-resolution body scan or individual organ scan is complete. Typical CT devices can take up to twice as long and require patients to hold their breath longer. This enhanced technology is only available at FHMC.
"This technology has broken boundaries in cardiac care, allowing a clear, non-invasive investigation of the heart and its blood vessels," says Cardiologist Michael Famularo, M.D
