Construction is taking place at Woodstock Hospital. The changes are being made to make room for a new CT scanner. The new equipment should arrive at the hospital in September and be ready to go live in October.

WOODSTOCK- An exciting time for Woodstock Hospital. 

There will be a new CT scanner coming to the facility and it will be ready to go live in October. 

For the time being, a temporary CT trailer will be used for August and September. The current scanner is 12-year-old and has seen itself become eclipsed by newer technology. 

The new equipment will come with added benefits including; 

- Faster post-scan processing time, meaning radiologists can interpret scans sooner and patients can get results quicker, 

- Improved patient experience and larger gantry to allow us to accommodate bariatric patients, 

- Top-of-the-line model that has a lot of add-ins for software updates as they become available in the coming years, 

- and the Ability to do certain scans that our current CT can't do. 

The Diagnostic Imaging Department is undergoing construction and there will be more updates coming in the Fall.
