Patients at FirstHealth of the Carolinas will benefit from faster, more precise diagnostic imaging with the installation of the computed tomography (CT) platform Revolution Apex at Moore Regional Hospital. This advanced technology leverages smart AI imaging to enhance care by delivering accurate results more efficiently, supporting clinicians in providing exceptional patient care.
Revolution Apex is a pioneering 256-slice CT machine. It features a modular design that offers a seamless path to continuous hardware, software scalability and upgradability that will extend the life and adaptability of the CT scanner. The platform will allow FirstHealth to advance with the latest technology while optimizing clinical capabilities now and later.
SCANNER FEATURES INCLUDE:
The machine also features metal artifact reduction, best in class spatial resolution of 0.23 mm and whole organ coverage in a single rotation, where it captures 256 cross-sectional images of the body. It allows radiologists to do an acute stroke CT workup in less than five minutes and a low-dose chest CT that captures images within one second for patients who cannot hold their breath.
David R. Warden IV, M.D., a radiologist with Pinehurst Radiology Associates, shared his thoughts on the new scanner and its potential for the FirstHealth imaging department.
“We are entering a new chapter in medical imaging with the hardware advances and AI software coming together to create a better experience for both patients and health care professionals. FirstHealth has been dedicated to advancing imaging technologies to provide access to state-of-the-art facilities. This new CT scanner boasts remarkable scanning times and resolution, while maintaining low radiation dose and reducing repeat scans. High-quality images can lead to more accurate diagnoses, potentially allowing for earlier detection of disease,” said Dr. Warden in a press release.
This is only one of the several recent imaging upgrades within the FirstHealth system. FirstHealth offers a wide range of safe and accurate imaging and radiology services including CT scan, mammography, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, PET Scan, Ultrasound and X-Ray.
