New CT scanner at the Lachine Hospital

Eric Paiement and Florence Clerc, two super-users of the new Somatom Definition Edge CT scanner at the Lachine Hospital, familiarize themselves with some of details on the new machine. Patients can already receive scans. The new machine delivers a much better image quality and, for patients, over 50 per cent less exposure to radiation.

Delivery required the creation of an additional opening at the entrance to the hospital. The new CT machine means much improved speed and reliability for these types of scans at the Lachine Hospital.
