The Longisa County Referral Hospital has commenced the installation of a new 160 slice CT Scan machine that will greatly improve imaging services at the facility.

The state-of-the-art CT Scan will provide more detailed images of bones, muscles, organs, and blood vessels than standard X-rays. It is an advanced multislice CT scanner designed for high speed and high resolution imaging which will assist radiologists in detecting abnormalities more easily.

According to medics at the facility, the new equipment supports a wide range of clinical applications including neurology, cardiology, Oncology, Trauma and full body Scan.

The installation process is expected to be completed next week.

The CECM for Health Services, Dr Joseph Sitonik led officers from the department who oversaw the process at the hospital, earlier this morning.
