KDMC Ushers
in a New Era for Radiology Imaging
|
KDMC
ushered in a new era for
the radiology imaging
department when the hospital
unveiled its newest investment
in state-of-the-art magnetic
resonance imaging
(MRI) suite.
While KDMC offered MR
services equal to the
best in rural America,
the new MR suite is a
quantum leap forward.
"Our new Toshiba
MR unit makes the best
MR images in the world
at this point-in-time,"
says Phil Campbell, KDMC
COO. "Now, there's
no reason for anyone to
drive to Jackson or New
Orleans for a MR test
because we have the very
best," says Campbell.
"Administration
and the KDMC board have
been working for some
time to get an MR suite
of this level of quality
for Brookhaven and Southwest
MS," says Alvin Hoover,
KDMC CEO. "We are
very grateful to have
this new technology for
the patients we serve,"
says Hoover.
The
new MR system offers one
of the largest and widest
bores available. The new
new Large Bore
feature is designed to
serve patients with ease,
and the large bore provides
a greater feeling of openness
to reduce claustrophobia.

The
photo of a MR image made
with the new Toshiba MR
shows the latest in Non-Contrast
Imaging -- as this image
was made without injecting
any contrast media dye.
The new MR has the latest
in Noise Reduction Technology
that significantly reduces
exam noise. And this means
KDMC patients will receive
the quietest MR available.
"The Toshiba Titan
MR is a dramatic improvement
over other traditional MR
systems, as it offers the
largest and widest bore
available with a significant
reduction in noise,"
says Kelly Smith, KDMC Radiology
Director. -

Medical
center employees,
Brookhaven-Lincoln
County Chamber
of Commerce representatives
and community
members packed
the hospital's
former Quick Care
clinic Wednesday
to be a part of
a ceremonial ribbon-cutting
and to receive
a tour of the
new Brookhaven
Sports Medicine
and Orthopaedic
Clinic.
"We
wanted to offer
full-time orthopaedic
services in Brookhaven,"
said KDMC Clinic
Systems Director
Larry Mills. "We
don't want for
anyone to have
a reason to have
to go anywhere
else for their
health care."
Before
the opening of
KDMC's newest
facility, those
needing assistance
with ailing bones
and aching muscles
were forced to
wait until the
orthopaedic specialist
was available
in Brookhaven
or were forced
to go to Jackson
or out of town
to seek help.

Dr.
Mills and LDRP Staff,
"I wanted to personally
thank you all for everything
during our stay at KDMC.
The nurses I had were great,
always checking on me and
making sure we were comfortable.
The housekeeping did a great
job keeping our room clean.
I was pain-free and everyone
there made it a wonderful
experience. Harleigh Grace
is doing great!
We can't thank you all enough
for keeping us safe through
delivery. She is truly a
blessing and means so much
to us! We will definitely
recommend KDMC to others!"
