Brilliance CT Scanner: for Early Detection of Disease
In 2005, WMH added a state-of-the-art multi-slice Computed Tomography (CT) scanner to its facility. The hospital’s new Brilliance CT scanner from Philips Medical Systems features advanced technology that produces split-second high quality images, permitting doctors to see more anatomical detail in a fraction of the time needed for other tests. With this new CT scanner, WMH doctors will be able to more effectively detect and treat a range of life threatening illnesses including cardiovascular disease. The ability to diagnose heart and vascular disease in its early stages, before the onset of serious symptoms, helps doctors recommend the most effective treatment options and lifestyle changes to reduce risk and perhaps save lives.

The Brilliance CT also reduces the amount of X-ray exposure, the need for drugs to regulate heart rhythms and the amount of time spent in the CT. Definitive results are available to physicians within minutes.
