In an effort to provide our surrounding communities with excellent patient care, Olympia Medical Center has installed a brand new State-of-the-Art Premium 80 Slice CT Scanner into our core Radiology Department.  The scanner will be the primary technology providing physicians with key clinical tools to help diagnose and guide treatment for both in-patient and out-patients.  The new Canon CT will provide a foundation that will allow the hospital to grow its clinical services for years to come.  The new CT scanner has an open design, excellent image quality, and low dose to protect our patients from radiation – ensuring that patient safety is at the forefront of the care we provide.  Our staff will be able to handle all patients, including even the most challenging cases, thanks to the premium technology built into the scanner.  The software will also allow Olympia Medical Center to grow as our clinical services expand into areas like Cardiac and Stroke.

 CT Scanning allows physicians to see detailed anatomy of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels.  The data collected can be reformatted in multiple planes that generate valuable medical information to physicians so they can properly diagnose and help patients.  This cutting edge technology will allow our staff to perform specialty exams that previously were not possible.  The new Canon Prime SP can automate complex exams, integrate easy to use protocols while delivering high quality low dose images.  Olympia is proud to bring this new technology to our clinicians and patients.
