Diagnostic Radiology
Each year, the radiologic technologists at Bates County Memorial Hospital take approximately 18,000 X-rays of everything from lungs to legs. Diagnostic Radiology is key to the diagnosis of health issues. The hospital uses the latest digital radiographic technology and was the first hospital in the Midwest to install the new Samsung XGEO GC80 general radiology room.
This equipment performs all of the hospital’s general X-ray procedures using a fully automated remote control system, allowing for high productivity and patient comfort. The system also features smart-dose management, which automatically records and documents each patient’s radiation exposure.
The new system delivers high image quality, fast results, and provides consistency in patient imaging across other types of imaging equipment installed at the hospital.
Bates County Memorial Hospital also is the first imaging department in the nation to begin using the newest portable digital X-ray technology from Samsung. Portable X-ray technology often is used in the Emergency Services Department and on the nursing units.
