The Most Powerful X-Ray Imaging Device on the Planet Is Only at St. Elizabeth Healthcare
In the fall of 2008, St. Elizabeth Edgewood began operating a new piece of technology. Unlike other medical technology, this is the first and only medical imaging device in the Midwest capable of producing functioning 3-D images of the body’s organs in less than a heartbeat. Called the Aquilion ONE 320-slice CT scanner, it is the most powerful X-ray imaging device in the world and it can be found right here at St. Elizabeth.
Being the only 320-slice CT scanner in the tri-state area, this groundbreaking technology helps to ensure that St. Elizabeth can provide the highest level of imaging available to our community and to you.
This $3.4 million super-scanner is unparalleled in its capabilities, which include: detection and measurement of toothpick thin blockages in the blood vessels, detection of hard to sense changes in blood flow, creation of flawless 3-D images of any organ, joint or body part, all in less than a heartbeat. It’s equally important to note that this groundbreaking technology comes at no additional cost to you and with significantly less radiation than other CT scanners currently in use.
