USA Health has received $1.5 million in federal funding to purchase new pediatric imaging equipment for Children’s & Women’s Hospital. The money, designated through Congressionally directed spending by U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl, will be used to purchase a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine and a mobile C-arm fluoroscopic X-ray system. MRI is a non-invasive technology that creates 3D images often used for disease detection, diagnosis and treatment monitoring. A mobile C-arm is used for real-time diagnostic imaging and surgical procedures. The new equipment is expected to allow up to 30% more children to receive needed scans daily. The new equipment also includes a video game component that offers distraction therapy for children so fewer sedation services are needed.
