Good Samaritan Hospital Opens New Advanced Imaging System to Provide Enhanced Clarity for Disease Identification

By Rockland Daily Staff

Good Samaritan Hospital announced on Thursday, August 25, that an expanded radiology department with advanced imaging technology is now open to serve patients at the hospital.

The new Spectral CT 7500 system captures inpatient scans quickly with enhanced clarity, for improved disease identification. In addition, the department’s new MRI system scans 50 percent faster than earlier generations of the technology with little to no image quality degradation. 

The upgraded radiology department now features ambient lighting and acoustic noise reduction for a more relaxing sensory experience as well as voice guidance and calming visuals. The expanded space also includes four ambient patient bays, six dressing rooms with handicapped access, and seven lockers.

The new, low-dose computed tomography (CT) scanner and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with real-time patient monitoring are the highlights of the renovated 5,000 square-foot department.

“Our patients are the true beneficiaries of this upgrade at Good Samaritan Hospital because it gives them access to many of the same advanced medical technologies found in large medical centers,” said Mary Leahy, MD, MHA, CEO of Bon Secours Charity Health System, a member of WMCHealth. “This modernization project is a component of WMCHealth’s commitment to the residents of Rockland County and surrounding area who rely on our hospital for care.”
