Exciting News for Our Community: Upgraded MRI will reduce scan times by 50% in Hamden
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our upgraded MRI facility, marked by a ceremonial ribbon-cutting led by Drs. David Cohen and Rich Diana, along with MRI Director Jason Bohn, MRI Supervisor Damon Harris, MRI Technologist Jennifer Tucker, and GE Healthcare Account Manager Matthew Tetu. We extend our gratitude to all involved for their dedication and hard work in bringing this important project to fruition.
As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare, we are excited to introduce the upgraded GE Signa Artist Evo 1.5T MRI system to the Hamden community and surrounding areas. This state-of-the-art equipment offers significant benefits for our patients, including a reduction in scan times by 50%. This efficiency allows us to perform more scans daily, thereby improving patient access to vital diagnostic services.
Additionally, the new MRI features a larger bore opening, enhancing patient comfort during examinations, particularly for those who may experience claustrophobia. The incorporation of advanced high channel count Air “blanket” coil technology further promotes patient comfort while ensuring exceptional image quality.
We are committed to enhancing the healthcare experience for our patients and are proud to offer this advanced technology to our community.
