Primary Children’s Hospital's Imaging Department is now first, free-standing children’s hospital in the country equipped with the new GE Revolution CT scan, which reduces radiation exposure by as much as 82 percent through innovative Smart Dose Technologies. This contributes to more accurate diagnosis and lowers exposure for patients.
In addition, the Revolution CT can scan the entire abdomen and pelvis in less than one second – reducing the need for sedation, and minimizing breath hold time for patients. It can also capture high resolution cardiac imaging at any heart rate.
GE worked to design a scanner with more thought toward what the patients sees, hears, and feels. In collaboration with GE, Primary Children’s developed a fun, pirate island theme that will help kids feel less intimidated by the scanner.
