Less time in the CT scan will result in a decrease in radiation exposure. “You can get an area scanned in one rotation as opposed to several,” Marisseau said. The 3-D images produced by the machine will be clearer, higher quality, and arrive much faster. Anxious patients won’t wait long to find out the outcome of their scan, because our technologists will be able to see everything in real-time. From the planning to installation, Gifford’s Facilities, Radiology, and Information Technologies teams were kept busy. Facilities removed and replaced the floor in Radiology where the new machine would sit, while IT made sure no patient data was lost or corrupted during the transfer from the old unit to the new one. IT also had to secure the information from a mobile CT unit, brought in to ensure the hospital could still serve its patients during the process. The Radiology Team had to train on the mobile unit, create protocols and work with one another to make certain during this transition, exams were of the highest quality. “People come here because it’s a small area hospital,” Marisseau said. “The patients expect us to give them our best and I think this new CT scan is a great addition to that.” Filed Under: Press Release, News NEWS EVENTS & CLASSES SUPPORT GROUPS RECENT NEWS Gifford Staff Member is November’s Featured Artist RANDOLPH, Vt. – Tina Grant appreciates the little things in life that come her way.
