Clermont. A new scanner installed in the hospital center

And a cutting-edge technology machine at that. The Clermont hospital center recently acquired and used, in its medical imaging department, a new scanner latest cry. The latter was supplied by the General Electric company. A “significant advance in the area’s healthcare offering,” explains the public establishment.

“Thanks to this equipment, the hospital center will now be able to carry out advanced examinations,” the hospital continues in a press release. Particularly for the calculation of calcium scores (calcification of the arteries of the heart), and coroscanners (visualization of the heart). “Essential tools for screening cardiovascular diseases, which are very present in the Clermontois region,” assures the care center.

After the 2023 MRI

The hospital in Clermont and its surrounding areas explains that this new device “is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including a centering camera, which improves the precision of examinations while optimizing patient care. This innovation allows medical electroradiology technicians to devote more time to supporting and comforting patients.”

The installation and commissioning of this scanner required collaboration with other establishments and their agents. The hospital center cites, among others, the biomedical engineers of the Beauvais Hospital Center. As well as civil protection.
