By rssfeeds-admin ATLANTA, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital-Atlanta is launching new diagnostic imaging technology to increase the accessibility of high-quality care in Cass County.
“The innovative CT scanner, the uCT ATLAS Astound from United Imaging, provides faster, safer, and more accurate diagnostic imaging. It is designed to offer high-resolution imaging with reduced radiation exposure, shorter scan times, and enhanced patient comfort,” a press release stated.
CT scans are commonly used when a more detailed body view is required to diagnose or observe medical conditions, including internal injuries, tumors, blood clots, infections, and diseases affecting the brain, lungs, heart, and other organs.
Bouchard says access to this technology will transform the Atlanta community. Patients used to have to travel long distances to larger cities for advanced scans but can now stay close to home to receive top-quality care.
“This is more than just a new piece of equipment—it’s a lifeline for our community,” Bouchard said. “It means earlier detection, more accurate diagnoses, and better outcomes for our patients. It means families can stay together during critical moments without the burden of travel.
“This is a bold step in ensuring that rural communities, like Atlanta, are not left behind when it comes to access to world-class health care.”
