New CT scanner at Red Deer Regional Hospital
RED DEER — Alberta Health Services says patients are now benefiting from a new state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) scanner at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre (RDRHC).
CT scanners are critical diagnostic tools that enhance the ability to screen for and more accurately diagnose medical conditions such as internal bleeding, lung disorders and cancer.
The new scanner, which went into operation last week, delivers high-quality images using the most current technology.
“We are so pleased that people in Red Deer and the surrounding communities now have access to a new CT scanner, plus cutting-edge equipment that will provide fast, safe, quality diagnoses,” says Sarah Hoffman, Alberta’s Minister of Health. “This will ultimately improve patient care and ensure people in central Alberta get the right treatment at the right place and at the right time.”
