Rancho Mirage, CA (July 21, 2007) - Eisenhower Imaging Center, has just added the SOMATOM Sensation scanner from Siemens Medical Solutions, Inc. to their list of State-of-the-Art imaging equipment. The new CT scanner improves diagnosis and treatment of patients in the Coachella Valley. The new SOMATOM® CT provides the finest image quality while reducing x-ray dose to the patient. Its innovative design provides optimal patient comfort by eliminating the closed-in feeling which patients sometimes associate with CT scanning. "Our new CT scanner provides us with outstanding diagnostic information by enabling us to perform Multi-slice CT on a routine basis," said Brian Herman, M.D., Medical Director of Eisenhower Imaging Center. "For example, we can now scan patients in a single breath hold, which results in more accurate diagnosis while also reducing examination time and increasing patient comfort. It allows us to take care of our patients in the best way and in a patient friendly environment." The SOMATOM Sensation also allows the center to expand diagnostic services. This is most notable in the area of Coronary CT Angiography (CTA). This technology allow for an accurate and non-invasive method for evaluating the heart and coronary arteries that is comparable to traditional cardiac catheterization.
