Saratoga Hospital recently invested about $2 million to make highly sophisticated imaging of the brain, spine and prostate easily accessible to patients in the Saratoga region.
\nThe hospital\u2019s Wilton campus is now home to a 3 Tesla (3T) MRI to better serve patients with certain prostate, neurological and joint conditions, officials said. The new MRI is twice as powerful as the 1.5T MRI that is the standard of care for most imaging procedures.
\nTesla refers to the strength of the magnetic field created by the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) equipment. A stronger magnetic field creates clearer, more detailed images. This superior image quality is essential when viewing small areas such as the prostate, lesions in the brain and small joints.
\n\u201cWith the more powerful 3T MRI, we can diagnose certain conditions more accurately,\u201d said Mildred Aviles, Saratoga Hospital director of medical imaging. \u201cPatients affected by those conditions need and deserve easy access to this superior image quality.\u201d
\nThe $2 million purchase is yet another example of the hospital\u2019s continued investments to bring critical services and technology to Saratoga County.
\nOther recent investments include: $6 million to expand cancer care, $3.25 million to expand cardiovascular and interventional services, $2 million to update and expand robotic surgery, and $750,000 to update and expand infusion therapy services.
\n\u201cSaratoga Hospital takes a strategic, proactive approach, offering leading-edge technology when it can have the greatest impact for our patients,\u201d Aviles said. \u201cThe 3T MRI places us on the forefront of care in prostate imaging and other areas that are important to our community.\u201d
\nThe hospital\u2019s Women\u2019s Imaging Center, also on the Wilton campus, features some of the region\u2019s most advanced women\u2019s imaging technology, according to the hospital. With the 3T MRI, the hospital offers comparable imaging services for men.
\nFor patients whose doctors order 3T MRI scans, this latest investment also eliminates the stress of having to travel outside the region.
\n\u201cPatients in Saratoga County and north who need the added definition of a 3T MRI now have that option closer to home,\u201d Aviles said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re concerned about your health, that added comfort and convenience can make a difficult time a little easier.\u201d
\nIn addition, Saratoga Hospital patients can be confident they are receiving imaging services of the highest quality. The American College of Radiology has designated Saratoga Hospital a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence\u2014the highest national recognition available. The designation applies to imaging services at the hospital and Wilton Medical Arts.
