News Summary

Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) in Ontario has installed a state-of-the-art Computed Tomography (CT) scanner, aiming to improve patient outcomes through enhanced resolution, faster scan times, and reduced radiation exposure. This installation is part of a broader initiative to upgrade the hospital’s diagnostic imaging services, which included a new X-ray and fluoroscopy machine earlier this year. The new CT scanner, a Canon Aquilion, is designed to provide increased patient comfort and clinical efficiency, particularly in high-throughput environments. CGMH President and CEO Michael Lacroix highlighted this advancement as a major step forward in their commitment to delivering high-quality care. The Ontario government is also investing significantly in the hospital’s redevelopment, planning a new facility to meet the community’s growing needs.
