Clinton Hospital buys $435,000 X-ray machine Clinton Public Hospital has de cided to spent $435,000 to purchase a new X-ray machine. At its December meeting, the board of the hospital decided it could not get along any longer with the 20-year-old machine currently in operation. Due to the machine’s age, if it broke down it could often take two weeks to get a replace ment part, Dianne Freeman, Chief Technologist of the X-ray depart ment explained. Dan Steyn, administrator at the hospital said that the maintenance and repairs on the old machine was also proving costly. The Vector Consulting firm determined the type of equipment required for hospital while Ms. Freeman visited other hospitals to see the equipment they had in service. Mr. Steyn estimates the radiology equipment will be install ed at the beginning of June and should be operational four weeks later. The new equipment will expand the capabilities of service that the hospital can provide its patients. Mrs. Freeman described these capabilities as follows: •The hospital technologists will be able to perform Tomography, meaning that they shall be able to take X-rays of different levels of the body. For example, they will be able to determine the exact position of a tumor on the lung, or find a kidney stone. With the old radiolo gy equipment they were unable to do this. •The new machine will be totally remote controlled. This means that the doctors and technologists will remain behind a control panel and will not be required to be in the room with the patient during the X-ray process. •Less film will be used in the X-ray process as more than one picture can be put on the film. •The technologist will be able to cut the film to a specific size for gastric examinations, and the new machine shall use 100 mm film, which is only four inches wide, as opposed to the 10X12 inch film that is currently used, both these new capabilities shall save film and money. “Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of the new equipment will be that we will cut down on the number of same day repeat visits to the X-ray room, and our flow of patients will be a lot faster,” concluded Mrs. Freeman. The hospital is required to pay the total cost of the new equipment as the Ministry of Health does not offer funding for equipment. At this time the CPH Board has yet to determine a specific plan for raising funds for this equipment and it is hoped that corporate donors will support the project. “We anticipate that people will support the decision that the hospital board has made because the new radiology equipment will be supplying a service that the hospital can’t do without,” said Mr. Steyn.
