CT scanner
EASTBOURNE District General Hospital has taken possession of a new CT scanner.
The up-to-the-minute equipment will scan some 500 patients a month.
The £500,000 donation was raised by Friends of Eastbourne Hospital.
Dr Neil Barlow, consultant radiologist said: “The new CT scanner is a lot quicker and more advanced than the scanner it has replaced, providing detailed images at a much lower radiation dose to the patient.”
Harry Walmsley chairman of the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital said: “This advanced CT scanner will benefit many local patients in the diagnosis of their disease.”
A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
