Advanced Technology
Why should
cutting-edge technology be important to you?
Technology,
combined with skill and experience, is a high-tech set of “eyes and
ears” for your physician. New technology helps provide faster and
more accurate diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Cutting-edge
technology is another powerful tool St. John’s physicians use to
demonstrate commitment - both scientific and financial - to the
discovery, treatment and cure of diseases.
64 Slice CT
The 64 Slice CT is medicine’s most advanced CT offering better
imaging of the heart and other organs. This device produces precise
diagnostic pictures within five to 10 seconds, enabling one to
"freeze" motion and better define certain disease processes. Doctors
say the 64-slice CT has the potential to revolutionize many fields
of medicine, from identifying narrowed arteries to the brain to
finding tumors to plotting surgeries. But the most radical
transformation may come in the way doctors evaluate patients for
coronary heart disease.

impact post operative recovery and account for more precise
outcomes.
