But, people have been very gener- ous," he says.. The foundation has already raised $213,283 towards a new PACS (Pic- ture Archiving Communications Sys- tem), technology that allows diagnos- tic tests, including nuclear medicine, CT scans, x-rays and ultrasounds to be produced with digital images, which can then be transferred elec- tronically. The digital x-ray machine is phase two of a fundraising project that be- gan three years ago. Lavoie says that while the Seaforth hospital foundation is again aiming to raise $50,000 at the annual radio- thon event, money raised from all of the foundation's year-long campaigns will also go towards the new digital x-ray machine until it is paid for. "It would be nice to do it this year but we may go into next year before we're done. These larger initiatives are major and take some time and commitment but they keep the hospi- tal vibrant and up-to-date and serv- ing the community, which is good for both patients and staff," says Lavoie. While Seaforth patients have been sent to Clinton Public Hospital for x- rays over the past few weeks while Seaforth's new digital x-ray machine was being installed, Datema says the transition has gone smoothly and the medical staff are seeing a big differ- ence in the quality of the x-rays. "There's a night and day difference between the quality of the images now and those from the old machine;" hesays. "I was thinking how great things were with the PACS system and now they're that much better with the new x-ray machine." Datema says the new x-ray machine provides better clarity and detail, with fracture lines in broken bones showing up much more clearly and areas of fluid or pneumonia showing up with more detail in lung x-rays. "It's a big step forward for the hos- pital. 'This is the kind of technol- ogy you expect to be trained on as a resident in a teaching hospital - you don't expect to see it in a community hospital," he says. Lavoie agrees that the new technol- ogy is a helpful recruitment tool, as well, for medical staff. The radiothon will be held again at the Seaforth Legion, kicking off at 9 a.m. with the Brussels Legion Pipe Band and continuing until 5 p.m. with local entertainment including singers, instrumentalists and danc- ers. Donations will be accepted all day at the Legion or over the phone at 519-357-1310 or toll free at 1-877- 227-3486.
