Equipment

Investing in technology and equipment is crucial to enable our caregivers to have the most advanced tools for diagnosis, early detection and treatment. Having the latest technology in diagnostic imagery, radiotherapy, robotic and minimally invasive surgery empowers our dedicated healthcare professionals to go beyond standard care and achieve excellence. State-of-the-art equipment translates into enhanced healthcare services delivery, access and safety, superior outcomes and improved quality of life for patients.

Vital initiatives in this area include:

• Acquiring a second MRI imaging scanner to provide safer and faster diagnosis for more patients
• Acquiring a state-of-the-art Linear Accelerator to provide faster and more efficient radiotherapyt treatments for more cancer patients
• Replacing our current 16-slice CT scanner with a 64-slice CT scanner to provide faster, more accurate and safer diagnostic procedures
• Acquiring a second da Vinci robot to extend the benefits of robotic surgery to more people and provide for a greater diversity of new, robot-assisted surgical procedures
• Acquiring a specialized ultrasound machine for the Liver Disease Clinic in the Division of Endocrinology to eliminate the need for painful biopsies, accelerate treatment decision making and provide for much quicker and safer investigation of liver conditions
