Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville, Texas, has added a 512-slice CT scanner to enhance early detection, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, according to a Sept. 5 system news release.
The next-generation system provides high-resolution cardiac images in seconds while reducing radiation exposure and improving patient comfort. The scanner will expand access to advanced, noninvasive cardiac assessments for Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.
“This technology represents a major leap forward in our ability to diagnose and treat heart disease with speed, precision and safety,” Guillermo Salinas, MD, interventional cardiologist at Valley Regional, said in the release.
