COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Community Health Center of Branch County has undergone a radiology department renovation. The computed tomography or CT scanner has been updated to the Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS.
The new CT scanner is designed to improve patient safety by reducing the radiation dose exposure. The machine more accurately detects the size of a patient and will alert the technologists if based on the patient’s size and the exams needed, there is a risk of unnecessary radiation exposure.
CT scans are used to get an internal view of structures in different parts of the body. It can also be used to detect tumors or infections.
