Patient-Centered Care
Focused on patient-centered care, the Signa Artist Evo offers patients increased comfort and shorter scan times. Its large 70cm bore provides more patient space, reducing claustrophobia by 90%, and has in-bore lighting allowing the Technologist to have full view of the patient for increased safety. Patients can be scanned feet-first which greatly reduces patient anxiety. Blanket coils, which are lightweight blankets, also improve patient comfort.
For providers, its wide range of imaging capabilities and advanced software allows for multiple contrasts for better detection of pathology enabling more accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
NRMC is the first facility in Louisiana to have this cutting-edge technology.
