New Angiography Suite Nearing Completion
HOSPITAL SERVICES
IN THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING Department at F.F. Thompson Hospital, work is underway on a larger, state-of the art angiography suite.
Located across the hall from the current suite – and adjacent to the Emergency Department – the suite will feature new, cutting-edge technology for complex vascular procedures. According to Director of Diagnostic Imaging Kelli Furnare, this technology will mean higher quality imaging and lower doses of radiation.
In addition, Thompson plans to acquire new intravascular ultrasound equipment that will allow the user to see inside the vessel and will facilitate advanced imaging for the performance of venous procedures, blood clot removals, and treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
The new angiography suite is expected to be completed in December.
